Description
An exploration of the of the complex phemonenon of philosemitism in general and and particularly in relation to the attitudes of the Netherlands towards Israel. Although guilt feelings played a role, the Dutch government was late to recognize Israel, mainly for strategic and political reasons.In 1956, they became an outspoken friend of Israel, and during the Six-Day War, this special relationship reached its height. However, a turning point came in 1967, ushering in a period of divided loyalties among both Jews and non-Jews.
