(JTA) — Police removed a sign from a Belgian cafe saying that Jews were not allowed following a complaint by an anti-Semitism watchdog.
The Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism, or LBCA, filed the complaint Wednesday with the mayor of Saint-Nicolas against the parties responsible for hanging a Turkish- and French-language sign at a cafe in the Liege suburb.
The Turkish text reads, “Dogs are allowed in this establishment but Jews are not under any circumstances.” The French text replaces “Jews” with “Zionists.”
Following the LBCA complaint, Saint-Nicolas Mayor Jacques Heleven dispatched police to the cafe, who had the sign removed and confirmed the LBCA report.
The window display also included a Palestinian flag, an Israeli flag crossed out with a red “X” sign and a kaffiyeh, or Palestinian shawl, draped around it.

It's understandable given what's going on in Israel and lots of others will come along and agree ( has been happening in many other threads here )
I'm an unabashed supporter of Israel for personal reasons.
I just don't understand those that condemn Israel for protecting herself from the rocket firing Hamas terrorists but don't condemn the terrorist org Hamas for starting this war by constantly lobbing rockets into Israel.
And, to top it off, they don't say anything about the terror org Hamas not accepting the first cease fire and continued to lob rockets into Israel despite Israel's holding their fire for 6 hours.
I just don't get that type of thinking.
