Belgian MP introduces bill to ensure protection of Jewish sites as police are to replace soldiers in security tasks Jewish sites in Antwerp, such as synagogues and schools, are guarded by soldiers. “When you send your kids to school and you know that the threat of a terrorist attack is possible and probable, you are grateful for the armed soldiers,’’ declared Belgian MP Michael Freilich in a speech to the parliament last week as he proposed a bill that would ensure that Jewish sites such as synagogues, schools and Jewish institutions receive the same level of protection as other sensitive Belgian sites.
