Anti-Semitic Daylight in the Heart of Europe: The annual Carnival in the city of Elst set off today with a plethora of exhibits with a more or less blatant anti-Semitic scent.

The carnival, which has already severely criticized the performances of Jews in an insulting manner last year, has increased this year as dozens of participants took to the ports, wearing a shrimp hat and wigs, under the caption "Complaining ants".

The participants of the carnival also presented a wall, which is supposed to mimic the Western Wall in Jerusalem, which reads "The Jewish Complaint Wall". Alongside the wall, there was an ad that read: "You would also complain if you had your penis cut."

In addition to comparing Jews to insects and blatant jokes about circumcision and the Western Wall, the carnival also featured old-style antisemitic costumes and posters in which a long-standing Jew seemed to be rubbing his hands in greed-associated movements.

The carnival has previously caused a storm of ridicule for blacks, Muslims and other religious minorities. The organizers of the carnival are determined to continue the tradition and claim that the criticism against them is "politically correct."

Belgian Ambassador to Belgium Emanuel Nachshon in response to the anti-Semitic march: "It is hard to believe that in Belgium, there is a carnival focused on Jewish figures to despise them. Of Belgium as a whole. "
