The changes and divisions on the left over the Israel-Palestine
conflict forms the central theme of this archive based study. While
the Labour Party's supported establishing a Jewish state in
Palestine, as a modernising force, the communist movement opposed
it, on the grounds that it facilitated imperial influence in the
Middle East. In 1947, however, the British Communist Party rallied
to the Zionist cause, leaving the Palestinian cause with no
effective protagonists in Britain. The left's sympathy, at the
time, was overwhelmingly with the Israeli state, considering its
establishment a recompense to the Jewish people for the Holocaust.
It was only after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and Israel's occupation
of the West Bank and Gaza, that the new left in Britain began to
articulate a critical attitude to Israel and support for
Palestinian nationalism. It is a perspective which has gradually
gained ground in the political mainstream. -- .
