Dimitri Verhulst says in left-leaning newspaper that he is attacked unjustly for racism, falsely accuses Jewish state of murdering 10,000 Palestinians in past 17 years<\/strong>
\n“Being Jewish is not a religion, no God would give creatures such an ugly nose,” wrote Dimitri Verhulst. (YouTube screenshot via JTA)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

JTA \u2014 Representatives of Flemish Jews have filed a police complaint after a Belgian journalist joked about Jews\u2019 noses and accused Israelis of stealing Palestinian land.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reference to Jewish noses appeared in a July 27 column by Dimitri Verhulst in the left-leaning Belgian daily De Morgen. Its title, \u201cThere is no promised land, only stolen land,\u201d paraphrased a quote attributed to the late French-Jewish singer Serge Gainsbourg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verhulst misquotes the singer as saying: \u201cBeing Jewish is not a religion, no God would give creatures such an ugly nose.<\/strong>\u201d The actual quote by Gainsbourg speaks neither of God nor ugliness, reading: \u201cBeing Jewish is not a religion. No religion makes you grow such a nose.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The column begins with the words: \u201cBecause God has His favorites and they have their privileges, Palestinians were driven out of their homes in 1948 to make place for God\u2019s favorites.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Verhulst also accused Israel of \u201cmurdering\u201d 10,000 Palestinians over the past 17 years and said that \u201ctalking to the Chosen is difficult\u201d because he said they accuse him unjustly of racism for his anti-Israel views.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Forum of Jewish Organizations of Belgium\u2019s Flemish region called the comments \u201crabid anti-Semitism\u201d in a statement Friday about the complaint.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dutch Chief Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs also condemned the column in an op-ed he published Friday in the ND newspaper, calling it \u201cpure anti-Semitism\u201d and adding he is \u201cconcerned\u201d that it could be published in a mainstream newspaper.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2016, Belgian Jews complained after De Morgen interviewed a Holocaust denier.<\/span><\/p>\n
