The diplomacy of prudence

Using a case study approach, Zachariah Kay explores Canada's response to key issues such as the recognition of the new state of Israel, the status of Jerusalem, the Palestinian refugee problem, arms sales to Israel (particularly the sale of F-86s in 1956), and the Suez war. He also provides a thorough account of domestic politics in Canada that influenced foreign policy and the effectiveness of pro-Israeli lobby groups to influence policy decisions.
