In Belgium, Jewish leaders worry that antisemitism has become kosher

“It may be viewed as derogatory in 2019, but these gestures … were not intended to offend.”

Europe is a pit. Why does that fact keep surprising people? When hasn’t it been an antisemitic sewer? Even the worst genocide in human history wasn’t enough to make a permanent difference.

“Such incidents are not unusual in Western Europe, where public displays of antisemitism are making a comeback. But their defense by authorities and the responsible parties has prompted concern that antisemitism is gaining a level of mainstream acceptance in Belgium that is matched by few, if any, other Western European nations.”

Belgian carnival float features puppets of grinning Jews, a rat and money bags - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

The street celebration was meant to address ricing prices, according to the designers of the float.

This is absolutely disgusting and today's proof that Europe is the same toilet it has always been.

"Participants in a street celebration in the Belgian city of Aalst paraded giant puppets of Orthodox Jews and a rat atop money bags...The Vismooil’n group, a veteran participant that specializes in hyper-realistic puppets, created the display to address rising prices, they told a Belgian blogger last month. They titled the work “Shabbat Year.”

The display features two giant puppets with streimels, hats favored by some Orthodox Jews, in pink suits. They both have sidelocks. One of the puppets is grinning while smoking a cigar and extending a hand, presumably to collect money. That puppet has a white rat on his right shoulder. Both puppets are standing on gold coins and have money bags at their feet.

In the background is a round window reminiscent of the architecture of many European synagogues and a small box resembling a mezuzah on its right-hand side.

“Everything has become so expensive [we though that] if we do 2019, there would be no more money left for next year,” a member of the group was quoted as saying. “So we all went quiet until we smartly decided to go for the Shabbat Year and that was that. So simple.”
