Dutch Jews were relatively well-integrated into Dutch society. They were known for being active in numerous fields such as medicine and law. While there was some minor discrimination against Dutch Jews, there were really no major social impediments to Dutch Jewry and this had been the case in the Netherlands since the 1600s.

As a general rule people who hate a particular race, religion or creed do so because of fear or ignorance.

The founding of the nation of Israel after w.w.2 originates in a letter sent by British Foreign Secretary Arthur J.

The Zionst Fed. had previosuly approached the Ottoman Empirand the Kaiser on this but were rebuffed. Although the Balfour Declaration promised nothing, it was interpreted with some differently. After W.W.2 the Jewish influx into Palestine was so great that the U.K. tried to restrict the numbers but ended up caught in the middle of the Jews and Arabs Conflict,being attacked by both sides, and by 1948 was forced to leave the two sides to their fate,which can be seen today, with a sympathetic view from whatever side you look at it.
