The major Dutch daily, Volkskrant has published a cartoon
depicting an Israeli soldier wearing sunglasses and the Jewish Star of David on
his back while a frightened, unarmed Palestinian
stands against a wall. The Israeli
soldier is shown firing a barrage of bullets spelling out “happy birthday to me”
on the wall behind the Palestinian with bullets going through the Palestinian. The Simon Wiesenthal Center denounced the
cartoon as demonizing Israel and its soldiers as blood thirsty murderers. 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.
