Belgian Hospital Records ‘Jewish’ As Allergy In 9-Year-Old’s File
An alarming case has come to light in the Belgian town of Knokke, where a 9-year-old girl seeking treatment at a local hospital discovered that her medical file contained what appears to be an antisemitic remark.
The child had been treated for “traumatic pain in the lower part of the left arm.” However, in the section of the official report listing allergies, the attending physician recorded the entry as “Jewish (Israeli)” — a statement entirely unrelated to her medical condition and without any clinical basis. The fact that this was written in an official medical document has raised serious concerns about professional misconduct.
According to the JID organization, which monitors and combats antisemitism, the doctor involved is of Middle Eastern origin and has previously shared anti-Israel messages in Arabic on his social media accounts. JID announced that it plans to file formal complaints with both Belgian law enforcement authorities and the country’s medical regulatory board.
“This is not only an antisemitic slur recorded in a child’s medical file, but also a blatant violation of medical ethics,” JID said in a statement. “Such actions by a medical professional tarnish the integrity of the entire Belgian healthcare system.”
The organization further stressed that this incident reflects a larger, troubling trend that has been emerging across Europe, particularly since October 7. Jewish patients in several countries have reported feeling increasingly unsafe when seeking medical care. JID cited additional reports from Ireland, Britain, Norway, and elsewhere, where Jewish individuals have encountered bias or felt compelled to conceal their identity out of fear of discrimination.
“Antisemitism must never become the norm, especially not in official medical documentation concerning a child,” JID urged. “We expect the hospital and the Belgian Medical Council to address this matter with the utmost seriousness.”
Ralph Pace, chairman of JID, described the situation as “a case of maximum severity,” vowing to pursue all possible legal and disciplinary actions against the doctor. “Writing such a note in a medical report crosses every red line,” he declared.

Lapid: Netanyahu’s Re-election Would Be the ‘End of Zionism’
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) declared that another electoral win for Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition would spell “the end of Zionism” and the Jewish state.
“We are in an election year. Since 1948, there has not been a more critical year for the fate of the nation,” Lapid told activists at a party gathering, warning that if Netanyahu wins, “the state will fall apart.”
“There are two possibilities,” the opposition leader continued, “Either a successful, first-world country, loved worldwide, with liberal values and a love for tradition, or a violent and backward third-world country that turns Judaism into racism and seeks to dismantle our democracy.”
Lapid outlined Yesh Atid’s vision for an alternative government, vowing reforms including a constitution, education investment, anti-corruption measures, stronger protections for the judiciary and law enforcement, and “above all,” returning the remaining 48 hostages still held in Gaza.
Lapid urged voters to unite behind the Yesh Atid, “send home the Oct. 7 government” and prevent young Israelis from leaving the Jewish state, claiming that “there will be nothing left to save” two years from now if Netanyahu’s conservative government secures another election win.
Israel’s next national vote is scheduled to take place in 2026 unless the Netanyahu-led government collapses and early elections are called.
Netanyahu told i24News last month that “the public decided that, for now, I can bring security, stability, and peace,” saying his political fate could only be decided in an election. “When I think I have done all the things I need to do, I still have many tasks, [so] I will continue,” he said. JNS

Man Rams Orthodox Jews With Scooter in Antisemitic Attacks in London
A man has been taken into custody in north London after a series of violent incidents targeting Orthodox Jewish women and a small child in Stamford Hill, according to Shomrim.
The attacks unfolded on Monday afternoon around the Clapton Common area, where the suspect was captured on camera riding an e-scooter along the pavement. In one reported incident, he allegedly rammed into a 21-year-old Orthodox Jewish woman while shouting an antisemitic insult. She suffered a broken arm, leg bruising, and facial wounds and was transported to the hospital for treatment.
A short time later, the same man was filmed shoving his scooter into another woman, aged 24, as she walked with her three-year-old daughter. The force of the collision caused both mother and child to fall to the ground. The young girl was described as “shocked and traumatized” following the ordeal.
Shomrim condemned the attacks, calling them “unprovoked antisemitic assaults” and describing the events as “a shocking act of rogue violence against women and girls.”
Volunteers from the organization tracked the suspect until officers arrived at the scene. The Metropolitan Police later confirmed that he had been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated common assault and common assault.

Rigged: Genocide Scholar Blows Whistle on Anti-Israel Association
A recent vote by a group calling itself the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), which accused Israel of “genocide,” was manipulated to secure a predetermined outcome, according to one of the association’s members.
On Monday, international outlets reported that the IAGS had voted overwhelmingly—86% in favor—to conclude that Israel was guilty of “genocide” in its campaign against Hamas in Gaza.
Israel immediately condemned the resolution, saying it falsely portrayed the aggressors as the victims. Israeli officials stressed that Hamas launched an attack on Israel with the intent to massacre civilians, and that Israel’s actions are in self-defense.
Now, criticism of the vote has intensified after one association member revealed major problems with the process. According to this account, the resolution was rushed through without open debate, no opposing views were permitted, the identities of those who drafted it were concealed, and even non-scholars were allowed to cast ballots. Moreover, only about a quarter of the membership participated in the vote, meaning the result represented the will of an activist minority rather than the entire body.
The Times of Israel quoted Sara Brown, a Jewish genocide scholar, who condemned the process: “The content of the resolution and the way it was forced through speak to an embarrassing absence of professionalism,” she said. Brown noted that the resolution cited organizations like Amnesty International that had altered the definition of genocide to fit Israel’s conduct.
Emails also showed that the association barred dissenting perspectives from being shared on its listserv, claiming that the platform was not intended for debate, and refused to identify the individuals who authored the resolution.
“The appearance is that this was a unanimous vote on behalf of the entirety of the association. It was not, and they refused to have a transparent, critical discussion,” Brown explained. “The leadership, in my opinion, had an agenda.”
Brown further criticized the organization for granting voting rights to individuals who were not scholars—such as political activists and artists—arguing that while this might provide “diversity,” it did not contribute to genuine academic expertise or analysis.
