A disturbing antisemitic campaign has broken out in Brussels—the self-declared “capital of Europe”—with posters plastered across streets near the EU institutions targeting Jews and pro-Israel advocates by name.
Dozens of posters accuse nine individuals working at Jewish organisations of “lobby[ing] for genocide” and of “manipulat[ing] MEPs into voting in favour of the Zionist genocidal agenda”. Their names, photos, and office addresses are displayed in full.
“It’s not only a lie, it’s really anti-Semitic to hold them accountable for what is happening in the Middle East,” said Katharina von Schnurbein, the EU’s antisemitism coordinator.
The group behind the campaign, calling itself ‘Lobby Against,’ is still online and actively encouraging others to download and share the posters. Belgian police briefly detained three suspects but released them without charges. “The three suspects have been released. The investigation is still ongoing,” a spokesperson for the Brussels prosecutor confirmed.
Alex Benjamin, vice-president of the European Jewish Association (EJA), one of the targeted organisations, warned: “We‘ve got to the stage now where Jews and those who advocate for Israel and Jewish rights are demonized and these people put targets on our backs.”
Rabbi Menachem Margolin added: “I feel unsafe, and I feel I walk around knowing that at any moment something might happen.”
This didn’t happen in Tehran or Ramallah—it happened in Brussels, the political heart of the EU. Belgium, despite hosting the EU institutions and Europe’s third-largest Jewish community, remains one of just three member states without any strategy to combat antisemitism.
Margolin rejected the campaign’s charge: “I think that the Belgian authorities allowed a strong lie and accusation to be spread by giving authorisation to many huge demonstrations that became a festival of hatred towards something which is a pure lie … This is not genocide.”
Meanwhile, the International Court of Justice is considering the charge of genocide against Israel, while the ICC is investigating Israeli leaders for the war crime of starvation—a first in the court’s history. Experts note that Israel has become “low-hanging fruit” for politically motivated legal action.
Brussels also recently approved a €620 million grant to the Palestinian Authority—an entity that hails Hamas atrocities as “a source of pride, heroism, and honour for the Palestinian people.”
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas claimed the aid would “help stabilise the West Bank and Gaza,” while Israel insisted its military action is aimed at freeing hostages and dismantling Hamas’ terror infrastructure.
Brussels isn’t just funding the PA—it’s also trying to isolate Israel diplomatically. The European External Action Service, led by Kallas, launched a review claiming “there are indications that Israel would be in breach of its human rights obligations.” According to Israeli officials, the process was “outrageous and indecent” and ignored “our detailed response.”
While Jews are being hunted on the streets of Brussels, the EU’s elite continues to finance and legitimise those who glorify their killers. The message is clear: in today’s Europe, it’s safer to fund Hamas than to stand with the Jewish state.
