Anti-Semitism and Anti-Israelism in Dutch Schools

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Israelism in Dutch Schools

September 1, 2011 | Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld
Anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism in schools or places related to them constitute a significant problem in a number of Western countries. In the coming years, this issue will have to be addressed internationally in much more detail. The major question is how much anti-Semitism do Jewish children encounter in schools? Other important issues are the nature of school curricula, the attitudes of the teachers, the presentation of the Holocaust in schools, security in and around Jewish schools, attacks on Jewish students outside of schools, and so on.
