Spanish carnival's Holocaust-themed parade of dancing 'Nazis' sparks outrage

"Goes horribly wrong".

I... I don't see a way for this to go right. At all.

According to a sign on one of the floats, the association intended its act to be a commemoration of the "6 million Jewish men, women and children who perished in the Holocaust and all those who suffered persecution and extermination because of their race, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin or political ideas". ​

😬

 

[TrafficCoen]

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh


Why?

 

[Ary F.]

Living in Madrid atm. I'm at a loss for words. I honestly don't know what else to say or do anymore. People here are so casually anti semitic, that I've just learned to brush it off. Had a date in November (a "friend" that swooped in upon learning I was single) that denied my entire extended family was murdered in the Holocaust and "people must have survived."
But this...commemoration? How the fuck? Se pasaron y no hay punto de regreso.

Anti-semitism is rising in Europe and Spain is one of the worst countries for Jewish people right now.

One in Four Europeans Holds Anti-Semitic Views, Survey Shows

Nearly 25% of Europeans hold strongly anti-Semitic views, according to a poll by a Jewish anti-hate organization. Among European Muslims in Western Europe, the incidence of such views was almost three times higher than in the general population.

Ugh...

 

[Machine Law]

That's crazy, the people that organized this are horrible.

[sgtnosboss]

WTF

 

[Lant_War]

The weird thing with this is that there's usually a lot of preparation for this stuff. Not once did anybody stop and think "hey this might not be the best idea"

Can't read the wsj article without signing up but looking up other sources it seems the survey actually showed a slight decrease in western europe (and Spain):

Survey: About 1 in 4 Europeans hold anti-Semitic beliefs

BERLIN (AP) — About one in four Europeans hold anti-Semitic beliefs, with such attitudes on the rise in eastern countries and mostly steady in the west, according to a survey released Thursday.

Of course maybe Spain was already abnormally high anyway?

Belgian city of Aalst says anti-Semitic parade 'just fun'

Aalst prompts an outcry over negative Jewish stereotypes, which an official defended as "our humour".

I apologize for bursting out laughing at those two clips.

What were they thinking?

I just don't...I....why is she dressed like that?....(I'm at a loss for words)

The woman dancing looks like some kind of weird Nazi porn intro.

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

*nervous laughing* What the fuck

 

[Failburger]

What the living duck is going on

 

[Palette Swap]

Another shining example of our utter absence of racism and antisemitism in Europe, as often lauded by some honest and well informed posters.

I mean, this just happened.

Yeah, I was thinking of that. It's like that Spanish festival saw the news and said "hold my beer".

This is the same event where a ton of straight men dress up in drag and call themselves the "dirty faggots" (literal translation).

Spain changed their timezone the to be on Germany Time because Franco was a fan of Hitler in the 1930s

Spain never reverted back to their old timezone

 

[Bigwombat]

Stuff is so cyclical it's depressing. It seems every other generation or third generation just decides to make the same mistakes and hold a lot of the same bigotries of their ancestors.
Rise in racism and anti semitism. People are against vaccines. Down with unions and up with corporate welfare. Clean water and air acts? Never heard of them and they're anti business anyway.

I'd just like to apologize to all the other animals on earth for our species destroying it for them.

 

[Corrie1960]

OH MY GOD like why who thought this was a good idea

 

[John Dunbar]

did they try to springtime for hitler that carnival?

 

[Sordid Plebeian]

mother of god it looks like they'e trying to resurrect hitler there

 

[jakomocha]

Who tf thought this was ok, let alone that many people

 

[Jag]

It's fucking sick, but I'm also not surprised. Hatred of Jews is fairly normalized these days.

Another Carnival in Belgium had similar themes and caricatures of Jews.

Just another reason why Jews need a state of their own.

I mean, is a bad idea no matter what, but it can be done, at least, with some taste or at least not looking like you are mocking the whole thing in a incredible display of lack of empathy?

I mean is so bad that even the far right party condemned it. When the damn fascist party says you went too far is that you totally went places.

My god so much dumb shit today

 

[RocknRola]

I wanna know what kind of drugs were involved in this. Don't tell me drugs weren't a part of this either, they had to be.

 

[Elfotografoalocado]

I mean, you have to be pretty fucking dumb to think that shit show will "Honour the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust".
