Watch: Belgians protect Israeli flag at Brussels memorial
Arutz Sheva ^ | 29/3/16 | Gil Ronen

At ad hoc memorial for the victims, Muslim man rants against Israel and shouts ‘Palestine’ - but the locals are having none of it.

Video

In Belgium, a Muslim man disrupted a memorial for the victims of last week’s massacre in Brussels Sunday, but he was promptly knocked down by a local man, and led away by police. The incident was captured on a Facebook video embedded above.

Belgians had transformed the Place de La Bourse in Brussels into a memorial for the 35 people who were killed last Tuesday in a series of suicide bombings at the capital city’s main airport and a subway station. Terror organization ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Locals and foreigners filled part of the square with candles and flags from dozens of countries, and sang songs, as an improvised way of honoring the deceased and expressing their emotions. In some cases though, Muslim extremists have hijacked the memorial to attack the State of Israel.

However, in an incident that took place around noon Sunday, locals intervened. The crowd confronted a man who, after praying in Arabic, shouted “Palestine” and called Israel a “terrorist state.” The incident was caught on video.

The man stepped on other flags and candles in an effort to reach an Israeli flag that was located near the center of the memorial site. Dozens of Belgians began booing him, and several shouted in Flemish and French: “Shameful!” Others shouted “Everyone!” in French, urging all those present to join the booing.

When the man grabbed the Israeli flag, another man came up to him, pushed him to the ground and wrestled the flag from his hands. The Muslim man remained motionless on the ground. Two police officers quickly arrived and escorted the Muslim man away from the memorial.

The danger won’t be eliminated until the Moslem invasion is repelled. Repatriate them back to the 57 countries they’ve already taken over and suppressed this way. Before it’s too late

The time for singing and crying as the main reaction to terror is about over, even in Belgium. A good sign is that the defending Belgium citizen was not also arrested.

Neither was the Moose Limb. Police just told him to shove off. Note also that he folded pretty readily when confronted by someone who refused to be intimidated.

That’s the way to treat people who are disrespectful...get in their face and let them know your not going to take it, 99.9 percent of the people are stunned you would do that, then knock the snot out of them!!!

Yes. I was gratified to see some semblance of Belgian Macho, brief though it was. I recall being in Oostande, Belguim about 1982 or so. I was still in the Navy. I recall Oostende being a beautiful, quaint little tourist town, with many old Victorian hostels for the travelers. The hostels were painted shades of pastel. The town on the whole was very clean, and it seemed like everybody was busy working.

Off topic: During this time, soul singer Marvin Gaye was appearing in that town, on his comeback tour. Marvin was said to be trying to stay clean of drugs. The locals joked that he was too close to Amsterdam to seriously go drug free. Grace Jones was on tour there too.
Only two years later, Marvin was to be killed, shot to death by his own dad.

Police should look the other way and let the right wing hooligans have their way.

“The Muslim man remained motionless on the ground.”

Not nearly motionless enough for me.

Can’t fault the police for doing their job, so long as they do it when the Muslims are rioting, too.
