Belgium: Jewish students humiliated at the Free University of Brussels

La Libre Belgique reported that a violent anti-semitic incident occurred yesterday at the Free University of Brussels (Université Libre de Bruxelles, ULB). 

Members of the university official BDS Society humiliated Jewish students by calling them terrorists and Zionists (for many a code-word for Jew) at the university campus in Brussels. 

Pierre Galand, of the ULB and a prominent member of the Belgian francophone establishment and a humanist, has been leading a major BDS campaign in Belgium and in Europe against Israel.  He heads the Belgian-Palestinian Association Wallonia-Brussels. Mr. Galand is also behind, among other, the Russell Tribunal on Palestine, and other outfits designed to demonize Israel.

Anti-Israel campaigning is a permanent feature at the ULB. NGO Monitor reported this:

Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) law professor François Dubuisson wrote a report on the purported legal basis of Made in Illegality’s claims.

Dubuisson helped to bring the International Court of Justice case against Israel on the “Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.” The non-binding ICJ opinion has been exploited for anti-Israel campaigns by NGOs since the 2005 decision.

• In June 2002, Israel announced its decision to erect a barrier in order to prevent terrorists from entering Israel.  The decision was made in the wake of a virulent campaign of suicide bombings targeting restaurants, cafes, buses, and shopping malls, and killing hundreds of Israelis, including scores of children, and wounding thousands. Shortly after construction began on the barrier, Palestinian officials, followed by NGOs, issued statements calling for the barrier’s dismantling, accusing Israel of international crimes and human rights violations. These statements decried the alleged infringement on the Palestinian “right to movement” and the “right to work,” while rarely acknowledging the Palestinian terror campaign explicitly directed against Israeli civilians, Israel’s legitimate security concerns, or Israelis’ “right to life.”

Dubuisson also appeared before the RToP in Cape Town to discuss “third party responsibility and possible legal remedies if Israel was proven in breach of the prohibition on Apartheid under International Law.”
