Members of the Jewish community, including children, had gone to parliament at speaker Szymon Holownia’s invitation for its annual Hanukkah celebrations.

Afterwards Braun took to the podium in the chamber where he described Hanukkah as “satanic” and said he was restoring “normality”.

Asked just after the incident if he was ashamed, Braun replied: “Those who take part in acts of satanic worship should be ashamed.”

Braun [eventually] left the chamber, shaking hands with other far-right lawmakers.

Jewish people can't catch a break...the seem to draw the ire of the worst people on both ends of the political spectrum, and the ire of the worst people from the other Abrahamic religions.
