Description
Evelien Gans examines the roots of the slogan "Hamas Hamas, all Jews to the gas" which has been shouted in the Netherlands during recent demonstrations, often by Muslims. She demonstrates how slogans linking gas and Jews go back a long time in the Netherlands' post-war history. She traces the globalisation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the impact of its one-sided and often false portrayal in the media in the Netherlands and other European countries
