Negative attitudes towards Israel in the media and beyond have soared in
many European countries in the wake of the Gaza conflict. This has been
particularly pronounced in states such as Norway and Sweden. Manfred
Gerstenfeld's book "Behind the Humanitarian Mask: The Nordic Countries,
Israel and the Jews" is now available to download for free and includes a
chapter on Norwegian media coverage of Israel.
The Jerusalem Center’s collaboration with the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal
Center for Holocaust Studies has made it possible to group and update in this
volume several earlier articles and interviews and to complement them with
additional essays. This volume aims to provide a more strategic picture of the
Nordic countries’ attitudes toward Israel and the Jews than is available elsewhere
in English.
Our research clarifies that in recent years part of the societal elites, particularly
in Sweden and Norway, have been responsible for many pioneering efforts to
demonize Israel. Prominent among the perpetrators are leading socialist and other
leftist politicians, journalists, clergy, and employees of NGOs. This demonization
is based on the classic motifs of anti-Semitism, which often also accompany its
new mutation of anti-Israelism.
