I've Been Thinking:
During a soccer match, a Belgian team sang a pep song glorifying burning Jews.
The team from the city of Brugge, about 40 miles from Brussels, has a history of anti-Semitic acts.
La Derniere Heure, a Belgian newspaper and website, posted video of the game which took place on August 20th. The video shows dozens of fans celebrating their local team’s victory by singing in Flemish: "My father was in the commandos, my mother was in the SS, together they burned Jews 'cause Jews burn the best."
These kinds of antics are typical of Europe - especially of the soccer culture.
European Jewish leadership is calling on soccer club owners to step up their game and fight anti-Semitism. They are also calling on political leadership to create a plan to combat anti-Semitism.
