The pressure they brought to bear was fuelled by a new urgency when British policy in Palestine denied entry to Jewish refugees from the Nazi terror. Today there is a widely held impression that the Canadian government responded quickly and sympathetically to that pressure. Jews and Arabs alike, each for their own purposes, have created the image of a Canada friendly to Zionism, and of Canadian policy directed by such pro-Zionists as Lester Pearson. But as David Bercuson demonstrates, the truth is far more complex. In fact, Zionist efforts to involve Canada in the Palestine question met with considerable resistance from Ottawa, even when Canada was elected to membership on the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine in 1947. The partition of Palestine was eventually supported by Canada, but begrudgingly. Ottawa viewed partition as the 'least lousy' solution to a problem that was acutely sensitive both diplomatically and politically. Hardly the champions of Zionism that it has generally been considered, Canada is revealed in Bercuson's study as having established a middle east policy, not on moral or ideological grounds, but on the basis of the politicians' view of its own national interests. 606 $aPalestine question (To 1948) 606 $aHISTORY / Canada / Post-Confederation (1867-)$2bisacsh 607 $aCanada$xForeign relations$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xForeign relations$zCanada 607 $aIsrael$xHistory$y1948-1967 607 $aPalestine$xHistory$y1917-1948 608 $aHistory. 615 0$aPalestine question (To 1948) 615 7$aHISTORY / Canada / Post-Confederation (1867-). 676 $a327.7105694 700 $aBercuson$b David Jay$0901397 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797229203321 996 $aCanada and the birth of Israel$93781204 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02990oam 2200505I 450 001 9910154978003321 010 $a1-351-94807-5 010 $a1-315-25911-7 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315259116 035 $a(CKB)3710000000965979 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4758191 035 $a(OCoLC)973039990 035 $a(BIP)63370414 035 $a(BIP)6321948 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000965979 100 $a20180706e20162000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aCounty borough elections in England and Wales, 1919-1938$hVolume 2$iBradfor - Carlisle $ea comparative analysis /$fSam Davies and Bob Morley 210 1$aLondon :$cRoultedge,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (724 pages) $cillustrations, maps 300 $aFirst published 2000 by Ashgate Publishing. 311 08$a1-84014-247-2 311 08$a1-351-94808-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 327 $a1.

Carlisle. 330 $aThese volumes provide an essential comprehensive work of reference for the annual municipal elections that took place each November in the 83 County Boroughs of England and Wales between 1919 and 1938. They also provide an extensive and detailed analysis of municipal politics in the same period, both in terms of the individual boroughs and of aggregate patterns of political behaviour. Being annual, these local election results give the clearest and most authoritative record of how political opinion changed between general elections, especially useful for research into the longer gaps such as 1924-29 and 1935-45, or crisis periods such as 1929-31. They also illuminate the impact of fringe parties such as the Communist Party and the British Union of Fascists, and also such questions as the role of women in politics, the significance of religious and ethnic differentiation and the connection between occupational and class divisions and party allegiance. Analysis at the ward level is particularly useful for socio-spatial studies. A major work of reference, County Borough Elections in England and Wales, 1919-1938 is indispensable for university libraries and local and national record offices. Each volume has approximately 700 pages. 606 $aLocal elections$zEngland$vStatistics 606 $aLocal elections$zWales$vStatistics 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1910-1936 615 0$aLocal elections 615 0$aLocal elections 676 $a324.942/083/021 700 $aDavies$b Sam.$01022205 701 $aMorley$b Bob$g(R.
