Description
This talk examines how the public in the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, and Latin America perceived the post-World War II Palestine question and the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The year 1948 marked the transformation of the world’s abiding interest in the region – an interest inspired by factors beyond actual events on the ground in Israel/Palestine.
