(Jewish Group) Twins from Gaza filmed skating with Palestinian flag in Antwerp Jewish neighborhood [View all]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Twin brothers from Gaza seeking asylum in Belgium filmed themselves roller skating through an Antwerp Jewish neighborhood with a Palestinian flag.

Adham and Amjad Salah were detained and questioned on Tuesday evening following a complaint over alleged harassment and intimidation filed by the Forum of Jewish Organizations in the Flemish region. Police defined the act as provocation and warned the men, in their 20s, to stop, Belgian officials said.

A video from Saturday of the brothers, who call themselves Skatetwins on social media, has received more than a million views on YouTube. They are seen skating quickly through the neighborhood on Shabbat commenting on security arrangements there while flying the flag and playing an Arab-language song titled “I am Palestinian.”

Among the reactions of local Jews they filmed are one man the brothers shadowed on the street at night who looks back at them apprehensively. They approach a haredi Orthodox man and ask him to say “free Palestine.”

Antisemitism plain and simple, or at least it should be understood as such, but, sadly, will be seen as something other than the antisemitic filth that it is.
