The Jerusalem Post continues to be a fertile source of anti-Zionist information that I wouldn't otherwise be aware of. Today's discovery was an article referring to the quenelle that admittedly I was a little late in hearing about. Here is the article:
PROMOTER OF ISRAEL BOYCOTT SET TO ENTER BELGIAN PARLIAMENT
A large political movement in Belgium has placed a key promoter of campaigns to boycott Israel on its federal elections ticket, ensuring his place in parliament.The Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism, or LBCA, on Thursday protested the placing of Simon Moutquin, a co-secretary of the BDS Belgium movement, on the list of candidates in the Brabant region for the left-wing Ecolo party.
Ecolo and its sister party Groen operate in Belgium’s federal parliament as one bloc and may become one of its largest in Sunday’s elections, according to multiple polls.
Neither Ecolo nor Groen has officially endorsed BDS, an acronym for the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment movement against Israel. But Ecolo’s placing of Moutquin at the top of a regional lists means he is guaranteed to enter the federal parliament, according to Joel Rubinfeld, the president of LBCA.Ecolo-Groen is “preparing to place in parliament a Trojan horse of anti-Semitism,” Rubinfeld wrote.
Last month, a video of a representative of the Ecolo-Groen bloc who handles anti-discrimination issues in Brussels, Sihame Haddioui, surfaced showing her performing the quenelle – a gesture invented by the French Holocaust denier and anti-Semite Dieudonne M’bala M’bala. Declared a quasi-Nazi hate gesture in France, the movement signifies merely opposition to the establishment and to Zionism, Dieudonne said.
The video was from several years ago. Ecolo-Groen has not taken any disciplinary action against Haddioui, who said she regretted performing the gesture.
The quenelle even has its own Wikipedia entry and even though Dieudonne M’bala M’bala - remember he's a Holocaust Denier and anti-Semite - first used the gesture in 2005, it seemed to go viral around 2013. To quote from the article:Another Ecolo-Groen party leader from Brussels shared on Facebook a false conspiratorial news article in 2017 titled “Ex-NSA agent Edward Snowden reveals that the head of Islamic State works for Israel, US.” He has not been disciplined.
When French footballer Nicolas Anelka of West Bromwich Albion F.C. performed the quenelle to celebrate scoring a goal on 28 December 2013, the gesture, which was already considered "something of a viral trend" in France, became an international news story and one of the most searched terms on Google. Anelka described the gesture as anti establishment rather than religious in nature, and said he did a quenelle as a "special dedication" to his friend Dieudonné.The footballer was eventually fired from his club and Dieudonné was prevented from entering the United Kingdom when he wanted to visit in 2014 to support his friend, the usual totalitarian responses. Furthermore, in 2016:
Dieudonné M'bala M'bala was refused entry at the Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport by Canada Border Services Agency on the grounds of prior criminal convictions and forced to return home. He had been previously scheduled to perform 10 shows in Montreal.

All three performers in the Netflix show were Jewish but it would seem that the Zionists have lost their sense of humour and now see anti-semitism raising its ugly head everywhere (like in the Whack-a-Mole game), even amongst Jewish people:
The Zionists are doing their best to whack each mole as it appears but as anyone who has ever played this game in an arcade knows, it's damn difficult to whack all those heads. The tide may be turning about them. One can only hope.
