‘Fun’ anti-Semitic displays in Europe should shock Jews everywhere
NY Post ^ | Mar 2020 | Benny Avni

All of a sudden nostalgia for 1930s Germany resurges across Europe, where some dismiss it as “just fun.”

Carnival marchers in the Belgian town of Aalst last week were dressed up as Jewish caricatures, as if lifted from the pages of the crude Nazi-era weekly Der Sturmer. They had long, crooked noses, Hasidic hats, rat tails — the works. Men clad in SS uniforms marched alongside, drinking beer and joking with the cheering crowds.

The grotesque display, which appeared in Aalst’s annual three-day carnival last year for the first time and repeated again last week, was described to the BBC by the town mayor’s spokesman as “our humor, just fun.”

Men in Nazi uniforms and women in concentration camp pajamas also marched last week in another European town, Campo de Criptana in Central Spain. Oh, and music bands performed in full Nazi regalia in Croatia, Ukraine and elsewhere.

Meanwhile, a study conducted among 14,000 people in 16 European Union countries found that a quarter of all responders oppose having “too many Jews” in their country. The study, presented Monday to the European Jewish Association’s annual conference in Paris, also found 21 percent believe Jews “talk too much about the Holocaust” and exploit it for their own purposes.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council didn’t discuss European anti-Semitism during the month of February, when Belgium served as its rotating president. The topic is not on the council’s agenda. Israel is, on the other hand, and in the monthly session dedicated to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, European members denounced its policies in highly moralistic tones.

I’ve never heard of it or seen it. I’m Jewish and have lived in Europe. Might be a medieval sort of thing that some neo-nazi types revived.

Belgium is a particularly awful little “country” though. It’s not surprising that they need to make up for their national failings by embracing racism. That’s a very common response.

Where do you get those? I’d love to have some to share with the kids at church! We do a Passover Seder every year and I’d love to hand these to the kids!!!

My family is Christian but we celebrate several Jewish holidays and we also have our mezuza by our front door!!

Léon Degrelle would approve.

Not to mention what King Leopold did in The Congo.

I’m sure their Jew hatred won’t save them from being turned into vassals of the Islamists in their own countries. Now THAT is funny!
