Belgian police officer facing dismissal over threat to kill Jews

A Belgian municipal agent in charge of ”street peacekeeping” in Molenbeek, a commune of Brussels, will be fired after he said on Facebook that he would kill “each and every Jew,” the reports. 

“The word Jew itself is dirty. If I were in Israel, frankly, I would do to the Jews what they do with the Palestinians — slaughter each and every one of them,” Mohamed N., who used the pseudonym Bebeto Gladiateur, wrote on Friday during a debate on the social network.

The comment came during a discussion about a Brussels MP of Turkish origin who was excluded from her party for not acknowledging the Armenian genocide.

Mohamed N. tried to divert the conversation over to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but was reprimanded by the thread’s initiator.

His comments caused an uproar.” This is very serious and unacceptable ”, said Francoise Schepmans, mayor of Molenbeek, a commune with a large Muslim population,” adding that the anti-Semitic remarks are all the more unacceptable that they are made by a person who plays the role of mediator in the streets of the town. ‘’They are the image of communal authority.’’

“It is obvious that we cannot tolerate that and I have launched a dismissal procedure,’’ she said.

I decided to launch a dismissal procedure,” she added
