        Haatspraak

        Antisemitisme - een 21e eeuwse geschiedenis

        by Remco Ensel

        Where does freedom of speech end and do insults, threats, and hate speech begin? Why does a rapper sing that more Muslims than Jews were killed during the Holocaust? This book addresses the 21st century wave of anti-Semitic incidents in the streets and on the internet, the distortions of historic commemoration in our country and the problems with education about the Holocaust. It is an incisive analysis of a multicultural drama in which anti-Jewish statements play a crucial role. By going back in time, Remco Ensel puts the new anti-Semitism in the context of post-war history of protest and provocation. From the student protests in the sixties to the Second Intifada, from ‘zionazi’ to ‘Adolf Sharon’, the Rushdie affair to Mohammed B. The book is based on extensive archival research in Morocco and the Netherlands and on conversations with journalists and politicians, such as Bertus Hendriks, Job Cohen, Elatik Fatima Ahmed Marcouch, Ronny Naftaniel and many others.
