Life

Manfred Gerstenfeld grew up in Amsterdam and lived in Paris from 1964 . In 1968 he moved to Israel with his family . In addition to a Ph.D. in environmental sciences he has a teacher training degree in Jewish studies from the Dutch Jewish Seminar . Among other things, he was on the board of directors of the Israel Corporation , one of the largest Israeli investment firms. He is editor of the Jewish Political Studies Review and co-editor of the Post-Holocaust and Anti-Semitism series .

After the attacks in Norway in 2011 , Gerstenfeld condemned what he believed to be rampant anti-Semitism in Norway in the course of the debate about Anders Breivik's ideological background . The "ruling elite" of Norway had misinformed large parts of the population about Israel and thus encouraged the spread of anti-Semitism. According to TV2 , Gerstenfeld claimed in 2009 that Norwegians were "a barbaric and unintelligent people".

In the controversy surrounding Günter Grass ' poem What Must Be Said , Gerstenfeld described newspapers that printed the poem ( Süddeutsche Zeitung , El País , The Guardian and Politiken ) as being just as "part-time anti-Semist" as Grass himself.
