The Belgian move was followed by pressure and inquiries from Israeli officials and Jewish organizations. The Belgian Foreign Ministry expressed satisfaction with the Belgian move. It should be noted that the Israeli Embassy in Brussels and the Jewish community in the country are currently trying to prevent or protest the anti-Semitic representations themselves.

The festival has been around since the Middle Ages, which is why it has been recognized as a World Heritage Site. The anti-Semitic dolls have been on display for at least a couple of years, and since the storm arose for them, the organizers have only made the motives of Jewish subjugation worse.

Among other things, the Jews are seen as having long noses sitting on sacks of money, dressed in Hasidic clothing. Another year, SS officers with tinsel of Cecalon B. appeared, noting that offensive figures of other minorities, such as Muslims, were not present at the festival.
