That's pretty frightening. The thing is that this isn't anything new in the Aalst carnival (and a few other European, pre-Easter carnivals). They've been resurrecting these medieval tropes for a very long time. Add to this the fact that UNESCO promotes this carnival on their website as part of their "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" and, well... But then, UNESCO has become increasingly politicized and anti-Israel so, no surprise there.
