Since the end of the Cold War, the Czech Republic has developed an extraordinary friendship with the State of Israel that is rather unique in the European Union. This study examines and interprets the most frequently discussed factors for the friendly attitude of Czech diplomacy towards Israel that has been characteristic for all Czech post-communist governments: history of relatively good relations between Czechs and Jews. Historical parallels in political developments of both countries. And a low level of anti-Semitism in contemporary Czech society.
