Not even in their inconsolable mourning for the 34 slaughtered by Tuesday’s horrific Islamist terrorist attack are the Brussels' grieving safe from the desecration of their oppressors. Thousands of family, friends and strangers left flowers, flags, burning candles and notes at the vigil set up on at the central Brussels landmark Place de la Bourse in the days following the attack.
The flowers, flags candles and notes are the public’s only way to honour the dead of the carnage that broke hearts, worldwide, in Brussels on Tuesday, March 22, 2016. But the bold desecrator caught by French-language television station RTL is shocking proof that even the mourners of the dead will not be allowed any peace: “A French-language television station captured footage of a woman wearing a hijab ripping up an Israeli flag at a makeshift memorial for the victims of Tuesday’s bombings in Brussels. (Jerusalem Post, March 24, 2016) “The images were captured by the RTL television network and disseminated on the web and social media.

“In the clip, the woman is seen sifting through the flags that were lining the pavement. After lifting a Palestinian flag, she then spots an Israeli flag and begins tearing it up. She then buries the ripped shards underneath other flags.” “She bends down to pick up the blue and white Israeli flag and begins ripping it up, before placing the pieces beneath another flag, which looks as though it could be the symbol of Georgia. (Daily Mail, March 24, 2016)
“The woman then walks off out of shot, with not one of the many onlookers approaching her to question her over her shocking actions. “It is unclear whether she has placed the Palestinian flag in the Israeli flag's place, however you can see that she is no longer carrying it when she walks away. “This shocking video is not the only time an Israeli flag has been tampered with at the memorial.

“Another clip shows a man, wearing beige trousers, a black hooded jacket and gloves, walking into the middle of the candle-lit memorial. “He picks up a Palestinian flag and places it over the Israeli flag so it can no longer be seen.
Once again, there are many onlookers but although some people can be heard saying 'no, no, no', nobody takes action.
“Since the tragic terror attacks that took place in Brussels on Tuesday, the Place de la Bourse - the plaza outside Belgium's stock exchange - has become a spot where those wishing to can pay their respects to victims and their families. “Thousands gathered there for a candle-lit vigil on Tuesday evening, just hours after 34 people lost their lives. Some carried banners that read: 'Je Suis Bruxelles'. “Young children were seen crying in the arms of their parents as they left flowers, balloons and notes of comfort at the makeshift shrine.”
Brussels authorities should be called upon to identify this woman, and to charge and arrest her. The dead and those who mourn for them deserve no less.
