dc.description.abstract	This thesis is a philosophical exploration of the concept of the cultural archive applied to the Netherlands, and its effects on knowledge production about Israel and Palestine. Explaining the cultural archive within an epistemological context, I argue that the epistemic injustices done to Palestinians within Dutch public and political discourse stem from the Dutch cultural archive and its relation to Zionism. I argue that the Dutch cultural archive has a need for Zionist ideology in order to uphold a positive cultural self-image. This self-image has been tainted by Dutch antisemitism and its complicity in the genocide on its Jewish citizens during the second world war, to which Zionism offers a penance that can restore the image of a just country.
