Abstract
Israeli academic literature on Taiwan depicts the relations between the two states in the most favourable terms, assuming a mutually beneficial partnership between the Jewish state and the East Asian country, seen as free of any anti-Semitism. The Israeli literature understands Taiwan solely as a small democratic, modern high-tech country surrounded by enemies. This projection of the own country image onto Taiwan leads to a romanticised and false idea of it. In fact, Taiwan is a highly anti-Semitic country with a poor human rights record and fascist tendencies. The Simon Wiesenthal Center is right to say that ‘it is obvious that Taiwan has a problem’. So, too, have many Israeli writings on the country which ignore the rather unsettling reality.
