Abstract:
Analyzes eight newspapers of the Swedish left, ranging from mainstream socialist to radical Marxist-Leninist, finding that, in differing degrees, all contained anti-Zionist perspectives. Many newspapers attributed Israel's fighting in Lebanon to a conspiracy, part of an "American imperialist plot", or viewed it as a show of Jewish power (e.g. in the form of Jewish or pro-Israeli lobbies in the USA and/or Sweden) exerted over governments and the media. Many newspapers espoused antisemitic associations of Israelis with Nazis. Calls for self-examination of the Swedish left for departing from its self-image as anti-racist and tolerant.
