Jews in Flanders irked by state-funded `anti-Israel` Samson opera
Prominent figures from the Jewish community in Belgium and Israel have harshly criticized the Flemish Opera for staging what they regard as an anti-Israeli, political event disguised as a premičre. The contested show was created by two Israelis.
The production of Samson and Delilah is scheduled to premiere Tuesday, along with a political debate. The community has condemned the opera ? directed by Omri Nitzan and Amir Nizar Zuabi - for dressing the Philistine conquerors in Western clothing while Hebrew fighters like Samson wear Arab clothes. Samson, who lived in the 11th century BCE, was a partisan living under occupation of the Philistines ? a powerful and technologically-advanced people of European roots. The bible says he died in Philistine hands while killing many of his captors. Zuabi and Nitzan's reverse-role adaptation of his love story with a Philistine woman leads Samson to become "history's first shaheed" (or martyr, in the Islamic tradition), the say. "Samson is a shaheed, and Delilah is his lover from the enemy camp," the directors explained. "This isn't the first time public Flemish culture institutions stage unabashedly anti-Israel events," David Lowy, founder of the JOBI group for Belgian youth in Israel, told Haaretz. "Israel is misunderstood in Belgium and distorting bible stories will only compound this. The analogy's ludicrous and state-funded bodies mustn't help it." Guido Joris from the Dutch-language Jewish-affairs newspaper Joods Actueel condemned the event's political character, and a planned screening of a film calling Israel's 2002 military operation in the West Bank a "blood bath" at the event. The paper also criticized the involvement of a state-funded institution in the show. "I imagine we are in store for Israeli flags burned, as we've seen in the past in Belgium," Joris said. Nitzan insists that the opera's political messages are not an attempt to jump on Europe's pro-Palestinian bandwagon. A spokesperson from Flanders Opera said his institution isn't anti-Israeli and that the criticism is "premature," adding: "We may argue about the Mideast conflict, but there will be no flag burning." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1080929.html |

Ik ben ook voor 1 groot Nederland.
Ik vind dat de Benelux gewoon een land moet worden, maar wel met Nederlands als voertaal, en dus niet Brussel als hoofdstad. |

"Anti-Semitic" incidents soar in Holland
(JTA) – The number of antisemitic incidents in Holland in January was nearly equal to the number of attacks in all of 2008, a new report shows. The annual report of the national organization charged with monitoring antisemitism in the country, the Center for Information and Documentation, reported 98 attacks in January. There were 108 attacks in all of 2008. Antisemitic manifestations rose around the world in January during Israel’s military offensive in Gaza. The antisemitism watchdog group criticized Holland’s justice system and police for being reluctant to process claims of antisemitism and also called on the legal system not to decriminalize Holocaust denial.
