Belgian Consulate in capital stoned
By Etgar Lefkovits

JERUSALEM (July 6) - Suspected right-wing extremists threw stones at the Belgian Consulate in Jerusalem early yesterday morning.

Nobody was injured in the attack, which took place at 2 a.m., but three living-room windows were damaged, according to Consul-General Leo D'aes, who was sleeping at the time.

"They were small stones, but they did a lot of damage," D'aes said.

"The most frightening thing was being awoken by the sound, and not knowing where it came from."

Police, who rushed to the Rehov Balfour residence in Jerusalem's Talbiyeh neighborhood, found leaflets from the outlawed Kach movement outside the house, as well as graffiti on the walls reading "Nazi go home," "Jew-haters out," and "Kach."

Itamar Ben-Gvir, a self-declared spokesman for Kach, said supporters of the group had carried out the stoning and vandalism at the home of the "Belgian anti-Semites." Police are investigating.

The attack comes during rising tension between the two countries in light of proceedings in an international Belgian court against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for his alleged role in the 1982 Sabra and Shatilla massacres.

The consul-general said this is the first time the building has come under attack.

"I can understand the frustration of the [Israeli] public regarding what is going on in Belgium, but people must understand that the action against Sharon is a judicial affair, not a governmental one," D'aes said.

The Foreign Ministry condemned the incident.
