In a debate that took place on Facebook on Friday a Belgian municipal security officer said he would kill “each and every Jew” and is now facing dismissal for his remarks.

“The word Jew itself is dirty. If I were in Israel, frankly, I would do to the Jews what they do with the Palestinians — slaughter each and every one of them,” wrote the officer, who was only referred to as Mohamed N. in Belgian media.

When the officer refused to tone down his statements the argument started to get out of control.

The officer went by the pseudonym Bebeto Gladiateur.

Belgian media referred to him as a “guardian of the peace” — an official force without police powers that is dedicated to maintaining security and serving as a deterrent to neighborhood crime.

“If this is true, this gentleman will see the door. There is no question about it,” Belgian newspaper Le Soir quoted Molenbeek Mayor Françoise Schepmans as saying. “The guardians of the peace assume a role of mediation in the community. They are the image of communal authority. His words shocked me… I cannot tolerate such an attitude of a communal agent.”

“It will be done according to procedure,” Schepmans said regarding the officer’s dismissal.

“There are two things particularly questionable about this case,” said Joël Rubinfeld, president of the Belgian League against Anti-Semitism (LBCA). “Firstly, [there is] the fact that a ‘guardian of the peace’ would publicly speak something that is so antithetical to the values he is supposed to embody, promote and defend. Secondly, there is the anti-Semitic speech that I am concerned expresses itself increasingly uninhibitedly in certain circles.”

This is not the first time Rubinfeld has warned about the rising anti-Semitism in Belgium that is causing Jews to leave. Last year, a veteran of the Syrian civil shot and killed four people at the Brussels Jewish Museum.
