Belgian writer who wanted to ‘shove a sharp knife into the throat of every Jew” acquitted in court

A Belgian court has acquitted the controversial writer and poet of hate speech against Jews, claiming he has the right to free expression.  

Herman Brusselmans was acquitted after the court acknowledged in its official ruling “that members of the Jewish community may have been hurt by some of the statements” but emphasized that “the writer’s words are protected by the right to freedom of expression.”
