Van Houten was to attend the Belgian talk show "The Appointment" alongside Elst Mayor and German actress and writer Helena Reign. Reine, who is married to a Jewish football player, called Elast's mayor "anti-Semitic," and canceled her first attendance at Tok Show because of her refusal to appear alongside the mayor. Van Houten also canceled her performance.

For a loanDuring the March carnival, huge dolls of ultra-Orthodox Jews were shown in pink suits. One of the dolls smiles as she smokes a cigar and reaches out, presumably to collect money. This doll had a rat on her right shoulder, and both dolls were standing on gold coins with silver sacks at their feet (watch the video above).
Following the parade, a storm ensued. Jewish communities in Europe and the Israeli ambassador to Brussels also protested anti-Semitism, in addition to demanding that the carnival be removed from the UNESCO World Heritage Site. In response, the Belgian government has set up an investigative committee that said anti-Semitic puppets could not be attributed to their creators. Absorbed by UNESCO, the creators of the parade last month once again resorted to provocative. As a promo for next year's carnival, dolls starring him were featured, including figures of Jews with long curved noses and gold teeth in their mouths, in what seems to be inspiration from the way the Nazis portrayed the Jews.
