Anti-Semitic attacks disguised as anti-Zionist actions are intensifying across Europe, as youth in Antwerp, Belgium, were recently filmed harassing and violently assaulting a young Orthodox Jew on the street. The footage, shared widely on social media, includes the hashtag "#FreePalestine," underscoring a disturbing trend of anti-Israel sentiments veiling outright anti-Semitism.

This incident in Belgium surfaced just days after the anniversary of Kristallnacht and closely followed the pogrom in Amsterdam, where mobs targeted Israeli soccer fans as they exited a match there.

In response, Antwerp police briefly detained five individuals suspected of planning similar attacks against Jews, inspired by the recent events in Amsterdam. However, due to the constraints of Belgian law, all five suspects were released after just 12 hours.
