The case study is the clandestine immigration of Jewish refugees from Italy to Palestine in 1945-1948, which was part of a British-Zionist conflict over Palestine, involving strategic and humanitarian attitudes. The result was a clear subjection of human rights considerations to strategic and political interests.Routledge studies in modern European history ;64.JewsItalyHistory20th centuryJewish refugeesItalyHistory20th centuryJewish refugeesGovernment policyItalyZionismHistory20th centuryGreat BritainEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyHistory20th centuryPalestineEmigration and immigrationHistory20th centuryItalyEthnic relationsJewsHistoryJewish refugeesHistoryJewish refugeesGovernment policyZionismHistory304.8/569404509044Sharfman Dafnah1666187OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910953273003321Refugees, human rights, and realpolitik4493552UNINA
