Antisemitism rising in Europe? Inside Antwerp’s Jewish community | DW News

A series of suspected antisemitic attacks across Europe, including in Belgium, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, has raised concerns about the safety of Jewish communities. In Antwerp, Belgium, soldiers have been deployed to protect Jewish neighborhoods following incidents including arson attacks and an explosion at a synagogue. The city is home to one of Europe’s largest Orthodox Jewish populations. DW correspondent Christine Mhundwa reports from Antwerp, speaking to members of the Jewish community who describe growing hostility and fear in daily life. The report also explores whether the current rise in antisemitism is linked to reactions to Israel’s military actions in Gaza, and why some experts warn against conflating Jewish identity with Israeli politics. We also speak with Bart Wallet, Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Amsterdam. #dwnews #Antisemitism #antwerp 00:00 Rising antisemitism in Europe 00:24 Soldiers deployed in Antwerp 00:59 Voices from the Jewish community 02:10 Link to Israel-Gaza war? 04:12 Interview with Bart Wallet For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram:   / dwnews   ►TikTok:   / dwnews   ►Facebook:   / deutschewellenews   ►Twitter:   / dwnews   Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie:    / dwdeutsch   Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutsche...
