This is what Belgium’s radical pro-Hamas scene looks like today. Not calls for peace, not solidarity with the oppressed—but street theatre glorifying slaughter. A movement that praises terrorism in the open, pressures anyone who speaks out, and treats mass murder as a political identity. I’ve been threatened by this same current for telling the truth about Hamas’s crimes—against Israelis, yes, but also against Palestinians like me.

They didn’t come to Europe looking for freedom. They came looking for a platform—one where they could spread Hamas’s ideology without paying the price. Where they could chant for more dead civilians, and call it culture. Where they could reenact massacres and get protected by the language of “rights.”

Europe needs to decide whether it still has red lines. Because when executions are simulated in a public square and no one intervenes, no one condemns, no one draws a line—that’s not free expression. That’s surrender.
