Beskrivelse
Takes an unsparing view of Jewish anti-Semitism within Israel in the 1980s, and the way in which it sought to trivialise and exploit the Holocaust. The author cites theatre companies, graphic artists and dramatists whose works equate Israelis with Nazis, and Arabs with Jews-as-victims. Some Left-wing Israeli politicians are also singled out as anti-Israel propagandists. Motives are a mix of exhibitionism and fiscal greed. The author notes that the works of anti-Semitic Israel-Jewish revisionists have encountered a warm critical reception in Germany.
