Friends, this is bad.

Real, live antisemitic caricatures of Jews were on full display in a ‘fun’ parade in Belgium.  This is bad, real bad.

Non-Jews- now is a time for you to stand up against fear and hatred- and stand with your Jewish siblings.  We need you.

To my fellow, beautiful Jewish siblings: we will get through this as we have for the past 5000 years. Together.

I’ve posted the full article here for your convenience.

AALST, Belgium (JTA) — Caricatures of Jews, including ones depicting them as ants, were prominently displayed at this city’s annual parade.

The displays came a year after the Jewish Telegraphic Agency exposed anti-Semitic displays in last year’s parade in Aalst,
located about 10 miles west of Brussels. Participants said the new
displays were designed to reject the criticism of the town and carnival
that followed JTA’s report.
