Ireland and the Palestine question

Sinopse

"Based primarily on Irish archival sources, parliamentary debates, EU, UN and Israeli documents as well as the Irish media, this work is the first attempt to examine Ireland's evolving policy towards the Palestine question since the birth of Israel in 1948. Beginning with an analysis of Ireland's approach to the issue both prior to and following its entry into the UN in the mid-1950s it then focuses on Ireland's increasing involvement in the Israel-Palestine conflict since its accession to the EEC in the early 1970s."--Jacket.
