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.”

Far-Left Democrats Are Normalizing Anti-Semitism In Democratic Party

A trio of far-left Democrats are normalizing blatant anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party as leaders in the party idly stand by and refuse to condemn their actions and statements.

If you ate a democrat you are now an advocate for antisemitism. There is no way to rationalize it away anymore. The small faction of democrats that still (feebly) fight anti-Jewish bigotry are a tiny minority. If you’re Jeiwsh and a democrat, you are either delusional or ignorant.

This is disgusting. The Nation of Islam is led by a man who called Jews “termites” and praised Hitler as a “great man.” This doesn’t seem like “draining the swamp” to me. Not a cent of taxpayer money should go to those dirtbags.
