Canadian Zionists of the Thirties have been fearful to contain their executive within the Palestine query. The strain they delivered to endure used to be fuelled by means of a brand new urgency whilst British coverage in Palestine denied access to Jewish refugees from the Nazi terror. this present day there's a greatly held effect that the Canadian executive answered fast and sympathetically to that strain. Jews and Arabs alike, every one for his or her personal reasons, have created a dead ringer for a Canada pleasant to Zionism, and of Canadian coverage directed via such pro-Zionists as Lester Pearson.

Hardly the champions of Zionism that it has more often than not been thought of, Canada is printed in Bercuson’s learn as having tested a center east coverage, now not on ethical or ideological grounds, yet at the foundation of the politicians’ view of its personal nationwide interests.
