(Jewish Group) In Antwerp, haredi Orthodox Jew overpowers and tackles his attacker
It began like countless other antisemitic incidents in Antwerp: A man shouted insults and made threatening gestures at members of the Belgian citys large Orthodox Jewish community.
But the incident on Sunday near the citys central railway station took an unexpected turn.
After the alleged perpetrator appeared to swing his arm to hit a Jewish man in haredi Orthodox garb, the would-be victim lunged back and overpowered his attacker, holding him down on the ground until police took the suspect into custody.
The attack, which the Shomrim Jewish community security unit said was antisemitic in nature, was filmed from a nearby balcony by a group of men, one of whom is heard saying excitedly: Theyre going to fight.

Can you imagine the disappointment of those who were filming? It must have been palatable. People don't like when Jews fight back....and, especially, when we win!
