Ivo Opstelten (VVD), Minister
of Justice and Security does not want to make the glorification of violence
separately punishable. He said that there is freedom of expression in the
Netherlands. Opstelten added that there should be strong actions against those who
promote hatred, anti-Semitism and those who call to support violence. The law
already provides opportunities for that. [Comment: In practice little is done] This project sets out to demonstrate that media coverage can degrade a country's image by using selective news without context. It uses the Netherlands as an example. It is a reaction to the frequent misrepresentations of Israel in many ways in major media, including those of the Netherlands.
