	United Jerusalem - - Week in Review -- 10/8/2006
		The position of its 20,000-strong Jewish community on Dewinter is causing a stir in the city, especially rumors of support by its 4,000 ultra-Orthodox members.
		Dewinter himself, in a last-ditch effort to gain legitimacy, declared last week in the media that he is certain that "one-third of the Jews will vote for me." The Jews, Dewinter told Haaretz, "are our brothers-in-arms in the battle against extremist Islam in Antwerp." According to Dewinter, "the Jews are part of European culture.
		Despite Dewinter´s claims that "talks with liaisons to the ultra-Orthodox community, political activists and analysis of past voting" lead him to be sure he will get at least 30 percent of the Jewish vote.

		Earlier this year, Dewinter, who appeared to woo the 17,000 strong Jewish community of Antwerp ahead of next year election for Mayor, gave an interview to the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz in which he denied that his party was anti-Semitic and that it was on the contrary an “objective ally” of the Jewish community.
		Dewinter presents himself again as the defender of the Jewish community towards Islamist radicalism but nobody is duped, it’s full propaganda and his move is merely an electoral calculation
		Dewinter continued recently to attract media attention when he announced that he would led a delegation of his party during a visit to Morocco in December.

		Work was shut down more than a year ago, thanks to a stop-the-mosque campaign orchestrated by Filip Dewinter, the leader of Belgium's far-right Vlaams Belang party; non-Muslim residents protested against it and lawyers acting for anti-immigrant groups sued its builders for fire-code violations.
		The ferocious, polarized responses Dewinter evokes in Antwerp North mirror the immigration debate that's raging throughout Belgium — and across Europe.
		Some members of Belgium's Muslim community agree with Dewinter that certain aspects of Islam — like insisting women are veiled in public or condoning the murder of women who commit adultery — are incompatible with European values.

	The Worst Belgian Ever
		Two government-subsidized Brussels organisations, the “intercultural youth platform” Kif Kif and the “movement against racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia” MRAX, have lodged a complaint before the Belgian judicial authorities against Filip Dewinter, a member of the Flemish regional parliament and one of the leaders of the Flemish-secessionist Vlaams Belang, which is the largest party in Belgium.
		They demand that Dewinter be convicted for “incitement to racist hatred” and that his party be deprived of its funding.

		If it wasn't for the fact that all other parties have pledged never to allow the Vlaams Blok into government, their leading light, Filip Dewinter, would now be mayor of Antwerp, and the party would be on the road to governing Flanders and breaking up Belgium.
		Dewinter describes himself as a 'right-wing nationalist' -- a kindred spirit of Joerg Haider in Austria and Jean-Marie Le Pen in France, both of whom are sending video greetings to today's convention.
		The local chairman introduced him with the words: 'Here is Filip Dewinter, who will address you in one of Belgium's four national languages.' It was an ironic reference to a suggestion by an immigrant leader, Dyab Abou Jahjah, that Arabic be made an official language, alongside Dutch, French and German.

		Filip Dewinter, whose Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest) party is expected to make significant gains in Belgian elections this week, said in an interview with Haaretz published Sunday that he expected to garner a large number of Jewish votes thanks to fears of Muslim immigrants.
		Haaretz quoted Jewish leaders in Belgium as confirming that members of their community would back Vlaams Belang, though it played down Dewinter´s prediction that he would take 30 percent of Jewish votes.
		While the founders of his party earned notoriety by collaborating with the Nazis, Dewinter has made inroads with Belgian Jews by addressing their parochial interests and voicing support for Israel.

		Dewinter: “Many Flemish nationalists collaborated during the war because they thought—and now it is clear that they were wrong—that this would help them achieve independence for Flanders.
