I got no problem with Israel criticism. But if you paint a Magen David on the face of an effigy and then burn it and shoot it in... Europe... eh... 😬

"The incident drew outcry from the microstate’s tiny #Jewish community, which only just got its first full-time #rabbi, a #Chabad emissary, in the last two years.

“This is a ritual they perform every year as part of #carnival, where they mock many things,” Jewish #Andorra resident #EstherPujol told #YNet. “This time they dressed the effigy in the colors of the #Israeli flag, with a #StarofDavid on its face. They put it on trial, sentenced it to death and carried out the sentence by shooting and burning it. It is completely unacceptable.”

Pujol told the outlet that it was the first time she had seen the festival include anti-Israel or #antisemitic elements, and that she had contacted Andorran lawmakers to express her outrage."

@dukepaaron Ah, no doubt cousin to the matar judíos aka kill the Jew tradition elsewhere in Spain!
@dukepaaron Huh they really are sticking to their traditions there 👀 wtf “But local Jews have also sought to remain under the radar, considering that Andorra officially prohibits non-Catholic houses of worship.”

@littlemiao @dukepaaron Wait, whut?

This is okay in the 21st Century?

@tjcasser @littlemiao @dukepaaron We’ve reverted to the 19th century here at home; why shouldn’t Europe go back to the 15th? 🤦🏼
