Behind the Humanitarian Mask: The Nordic Countries, Israel and the Jews Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld, Editor Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs & Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, 2008 Publisher's site: http://jcpa.org/JCPA/Templates/showpage.asp?DBID=1&LNGID=1&TMID=103&FID=448&; PID=0&IID=2588 Book review: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull &cid=1225910049068 This book edited by Dr. Gerstenfeld analyzes the attitude of the Nordic countries toward Israel and the Jews. In the past decades many pioneering efforts to demonize Israel have come from elites of the Nordic countries. The motifs of this anti-Israelism are similar to those of classic anti-Semitism, of which it is a new mutation. Such highly discriminatory prejudices are in particular expressed in Norway and Sweden by leading socialist and extreme-leftist politicians as well as journalists, clergy and so-called humanitarians. Behind the Nordic countries' appearance and oft-proclaimed concern for human rights lurk darker attitudes. This book deals mainly with lifting the humanitarian mask as far as Israel and Jews are concerned.
