Boy stabbed in anti-Semitic attack in Belgium
By Reuters and Haaretz Service
BRUSSELS - Jewish organizations and the mayor of the Belgian port city of Antwerp held an emergency meeting on Friday after four students from a Jewish school in an Antwerp suburb were attacked.
A spokesman for the Forum of Jewish Organizations said one 16-year old boy was stabbed in the back during an attack late on Thursday by about 15 youngsters of Arab origin which the Forum believed was motivated by anti-Semitism.
"He was stabbed in the back, one of his lungs was punctured and he lost a lot of blood," the spokesman said, adding that the boy's life was no longer in danger.
According to Israel Radio the victim was identified as Noah Schmal, a Yeshiva student. The boy was evacuated unconscious to a hospital in Antwerp, but doctors say he is currently in stable condition.
The Forum said the school in the Antwerp suburb of Wilrijk had been targeted before, but there had never been violence.
After the meeting, Antwerp's mayor and police chief pledged to boost patrols in the area. No arrests had been made so far, the spokesman said.
Antwerp is home to an Orthodox Jewish community of about 20,000.
The Jewish community in Belgium has complained of a rise in anti-Semitism and of virulent anti-Israeli propaganda since the start of the Palestinian revolt against Israeli occupation in September 2000.
Bump for later
15-4. Good odds. I wonder ibrahim Hooper would spin a similar event here in the US?

Belgium = French Lite!
This vile little country is countrolled by left wing lunatics who hate America and Israel. Of course, any Jew is fair game due to their hatred of Israel.
they were only celebrating a wedding
The police chief pledged to boost patrols? That's it? If that were my kid, I'd be looking to get some revenge. Maybe it's un-Christian like to say this, but I would.
Thats because the past response to attacks on the School were lame and tame. These islamic thugs will have been slowly gearing up their attacks over a period of time.
When the islamic community population reaches a critical mass... expect more evil to be visited upon non-muslims.!!!
Islam like the Borg have one creed... Assimilate or be destroyed.
There was a time when I dreamed of going to Europe. However, that was before I learned to what extent it has become a steaming cesspool.

ditto, I don't think the Euroweanies understand how crappy their environment has become. First it was the Gypsies, now attacking Muslim teens.
This must have a large effect on their receipt of tourist dollars.
