Why this petition matters

Started by Say NO to HATE

Despite Huge National and International Condemnation, carnival in Belgium  will once again present extreme antisemitic parade.

Dear Supporter from around the globe.

Thank you so much for your signature and show of support towards saying ENOUGH to this flagrant hate and antisemitism. 
This campaign needs much more support in order to create a “statement” to the Belgium government and the Aalst municipal in particular. 

What we demand from you is to take 5-10 minutes from your time and forward this campaign to ALL your contacts and relatives. 


YES ! YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! EVERY VOTE IS ANOTHER VOTE !!

We thank you in advance for your continuous support and pray that the world should finally wake up and say enough towards any type of racism,antisemitism and any other type of plain hate.

Dear Concerned Citizen, Children, Grandchildren and Great-grandchildren of Survivors. Survivors ourselves. Every person who cries out zero tolerance towards Antisemitism.

We are all aware that Antisemitism has again risen its ugly head in Europe.
We know Antisemitism constantly lies low but grabs the opportunity to manifest itself in many different guises.

Aalst, a small city in Belgium holds an annual parade. At this event everyone and everything is shamelessly mocked, ridiculed and mercilessly attacked. Political correctness has never been adhered to at this event.


In 2014 the carnival exhibited transport wagons to Auschwitz surrounded with cyclone b gas canisters and ‘’Jewish prisoners walking next to these sickening cartoons’’.This past year, 2019, the carnival exhibited floats depicting caricatures of Orthodox Jews standing on sacks of money adorned with crooked noses and rats.  No other explanation can be given other than trying to depict Jews as : an rat infested nation that are money grabbers and must be wiped out and killed.

There has been National and International condemnation towards this flagrant antisemitic carnival. UNESCO has removed this carnival from its Cultural listing, The European Council have sharply criticised this scandalous demonstration of racism and hate. Other countries like Poland, Austria and Hungary have made it clear that they will not remain silent a second time. Yet;

The mayor of Aalst defends the right to this antisemitic event. On top of that in revenge of being taken of the UNESCO Heritage Aalst carnival headline/slogan for this year is JEWS and UNESCO. Shops in Aalst are buying bulk orders of  crooked noses, gold teeth, rats, mice and orthodox Jewish clothing.

75 Years after the Holocaust. It is our charge, obligation and duty to end hate and antisemitism. Caricatures were the tools used by the Nazis to taunt and ridicule Jews and Judaism. will you remain silent and let WW3 happen ?

STAND UP AND SAY NO TO THIS HATEFUL, RACIST & ANTISEMITIC CARNIVAL THAT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE THIS SUNDAY 23 FEBRUARY 2020                                                                    

THIS EVENT CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE IGNORED 

The Mayor, Mr C D’Haese of Aalst defends this display of bigotry and Antisemitism and sees no wrong. After all he claims that is what carnival is all about. We are the voices of those who can no longer speak. We are the ears of those who can no longer hear. We are the eyes of those who can no longer see.We are compelled to show our revulsion, disgust, and anger at this blatant demonstration of hatred, racism and Antisemitism against the Jewish people.
