On dangers to Jews in Brussels, I agree that some rephrasing was appropriate, but: Belgium, including Brussels specifically, though Antwerp may have been worse, was notorious for being hostile and dangerous for Jews a few years ago when the warning was put up, even more so than Paris, which is or at least a few years ago was probably more famous for recognizably Jewish people keeping their yarmulkes under ordinary-looking hats and wearing their Jewish star pendants inside their clothing in public because of constant harassment, threats and worse, most of it not amounting to mass murders that are reported in the mainstream media. I read coverage in the Jewish media at that time about just how hostile and dangerous Brussels was for Jews. You think a warning for Jews is fearmongering? Are you Jewish or do you know Jews who've walked through Brussels recently wearing yarmulkes or Jewish star or Chai pendants? If so, and you know that things have improved greatly for Jews in Brussels during the pandemic, you can state that, but allow me to have doubts about a decrease in scapegoating during a pandemic. I know things are much worse throughout the U.S.A., including in my home city of New York, than they were a few years ago. If you're not Jewish or don't speak with Jews about things going on in their cities often, you might not know things like Chasidic men having their beards tugged, their cars vandalized, swastikas being painted on synagogues, etc., etc. I don't personally experience threats or harassment for being Jewish because I'm not as immediately recognizable as a Jew, since I don't wear a yarmulke except when I pray, don't have peyyos, etc., so it can matter how you look, in certain situations.
