In fact, the Canadians were among the main initiators of the partition plan and the establishment of a Jewish state. Tauber demonstrates that this Canadian involvement was not an official government policy, but rather a private initiative of some high-ranking Canadian foreign service officials who believed partition to be the only practicable solution for the Palestine question. Thus, due to humanitarian concerns, these officials followed an independent policy against the express will of their prime minister. The results would forever change the history of the Middle East. Tauber explores this little known aspect of Canadian foreign policy. Canada's under secretary of state for external affairs, Lester Pearson, assisted by other foreign service officials, decided on his own accord which policy to follow in this instance. Based upon many original Canadian, British, American, UN, and Israeli documents, this study shows that Pearson's motivation was not the desire to make Canada a middle power involved in international affairs, as some scholars of Canadian international affairs have previously argued. Instead, the impact of the Holocaust drove these officials to break ranks with their superiors at home to support the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. 410 0$aContributions to the study of world history ;$vno. 96. 606 $aDiplomats$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHumanitarianism$xPolitical aspects$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aCanada$xForeign relations$zPalestine 607 $aPalestine$xForeign relations$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xForeign relations$y1945- 607 $aPalestine$xHistory$yPartition, 1947 615 0$aDiplomats$xHistory 615 0$aHumanitarianism$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 676 $a327.7105694 700 $aT?a?uber$b Eli?ezer$01795364 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960030203321 996 $aPersonal policy making$94336541 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00778nam0 2200277 450 001 9911035677603321 005 20251105110702.0 010 $a979-12-218-1906-9 100 $a20251105d2025----km y0itay50 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay 001yy 200 1 $a<>lavoro in carcere$fAntonello Nicosia$gpostfazione di Gioacchino Onorati 210 $aRoma$cAracne$d2025 215 $a129 p.$d20 cm 225 1 $aDiritto di stampa$v107 676 $a365.65$v23$zita 700 1$aNicosia,$bAntonello$01853889 702 1$aOnorati,$bGioacchino 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9911035677603321 952 $aXIII F 211$b2025/1719$fFGBC 959 $aFGBC 996 $aLavoro in carcere$94450702 997 $aUNINA
