Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Borough of Poole Unitary Authority Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment
    APPENDIX 1 Borough of Poole Unitary Authority Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment Draft Final Report v3 June 2011 1. Executive Summary This report has been prepared to assist Borough of Poole in meeting their duties to manage local flood risk and deliver the requirements of the Flood Risk Regulations (2009). The Borough of Poole, as a unitary authority, is defined as a lead local flood authority (LLFA) within the regulations. This report represents the first stage of the requirements set out in the regulations. The Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) process is aimed at providing a high level overview of flood risk from local sources, primarily flooding from surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses. Flooding associated with the sea, main rivers and reservoirs is the responsibility of the Environment Agency and does not need to be considered as part of this report. The completed PFRA report must be submitted by Borough of Poole to the Environment Agency for review by 22 June 2011. The PFRA has been produced based on the Environment Agency‟s Final PFRA Guidance and Defra‟s Guidance on selecting Flood Risk Areas, both published in December 2010. Using the national methodology set by Defra, the Environment Agency identified indicative Flood Risk Areas across England. Of the ten areas identified, none of these fall within the Borough of Poole. This simply means that parts of the PFRA mandatory documentation is not applicable to Poole and therefore will not require completion. In order to gain a clearer understanding of the flood risk across the Borough of Poole, flood risk data and historic flood events were collected from local and national sources, the Environment Agency, water companies, emergency services and other risk management authorities.
