Preventing and Countering Far-Right Extremism
In the public discourse dominating the Netherlands after 1945, anti-Semitism and racism – two of the basic elements of (“classical”) right-wing extremism – have tended to be seen as uncharacteristic of Dutch society.1According to many experts, this is attributed to Dutch experiences in the Second World War, as the Netherlands saw the largest percentage of national Jewish populations in Europe killed, after Poland. A guilt complex related to Dutch behaviour during the War has led to what is often called “the basic consensus” on what is “bad” and “good” in Dutch society.

Since the second half of the nineties, the Internet develops at a rapid pace. For anyone who wants it is possible to be connected to the world wide web. Rapid technological advances since its inception in 1997 also affect (been) on the work of the Internet Discrimination Hotline (MDI). In the early years the MDI received only a few reports, recent years that number was well above the thousand. From these reports over the years, a number of trends observed. One is a rapid increase in the number of reports of discrimination on interactive Internet, such as discussion forums
and interactive blogs. A second trend is the high number of criminal Without prejudice expressions on extreme right websites. This finding is supported by a recent report by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance of the Council of Europe (ECRI), which shows that in the Netherlands the main growth of right-wing extremism, especially among young people, place in non-political movements that informal, primarily through digital means of communication, organized.

4.3 Right extremism
The threat to the Dutch democratic legal order by right-wing extremists
still is relatively low. The fragmented right-wing extremist landscape
in the Netherlands is partly to blame. The past year did show some growth
the supporters of not politically active neo-Nazi organizations, such as Blood&Honour.
Parties on the other hand who seek to achieve their goals through political means, In the past year were not substantially increased or even decreased in size. It is expected that the growth of non politically active groups also will persist in the coming year. The emergence of radical splinter groups from right-wing
youth cultures such as parts of the so-called 'Lonsdale youth' (gabberbeweging), is
been limited this year. Despite the fact that in the circles of a right extremists
fascination with weapons and violence exists, at this time is not a right-wing extremist terrorist threat. That does not mean that in this youth culture
widely felt frustration over multiculturalism further polarization in the
hand can work and thus could ultimately threaten the democratic legal.

monitor and issue periodic reports. First we will look at the phenomena: how do racism, extremism and anti-Semitism in the Dutch society. One could look at the expression, such as politically organized racism, and to the exclusion form, eg catering discrimination. Some symptoms are limited by their nature not to the Dutch territory, such as discrimination on the Internet. In such cases, the extra-territorial context is taken into account. Fixed pattern in the monitoring study is the attempt as much as possible to identify different kinds of victims and perpetrators. This exercise can relate to both natives and foreigners, including the latter let divide again in various minority groups. The response to racism, extremism and anti-Semitism can be different in nature, from educational to legal. Usually the nature of the response depending on the appearance of the discrimination, the category of victims and the background of the perpetrators.
