MUSLIMS ATTACK JEWS IN BELGIUM

Young Jews attacked in Belgium (JTA)
A group of Chasidic teens from Antwerp was attacked by young Muslims in northeast Belgium.

The group of 60 13- to 15-year-olds arrived in Beringen on Nov. 30. As they arrived at their hostel in a largely Muslim neighborhood, 10 local Muslims approached the building, throwing stones at it and shouting anti-Semitic epithets. Leaders of the Jewish group called police.

Undeterred by the police’s arrival, the youths continued throwing stones at the building. The group returned to Antwerp that night, accompanied to the highway by a police escort. The attackers appeared in a district court over the weekend and were sentenced to community service.
