Belgian carnival features puppets of grinning Jew with a rat
At a Belgian carnival party, huge puppets made to resemble grinning Jews with rat, money bags.
Dutch Chief Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs condemned the depiction Sunday at the annual Carnival of Aalst street celebration as “shocking.” It contains “typical, anti-Semitic caricatures from 1939,” he told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The umbrella groups representing Flemish and French-speaking Jews in Belgium, FJO and CCOJB respectively, complained to the federal UNIA watchdog on racism about the display. “In a democracy like Belgium, there is no room for such things, carnival or not,” they wrote.
