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.

  • Glasgow Life Update on Venues Not Yet Scheduled for Re-Opening - April 2021
    Glasgow Life update on venues not yet scheduled for re-opening - April 2021 The global pandemic of Covid-19 has forced significant changes to how Glasgow Life operates. We are maximising the impact of the funding available in spite of reduced capacities in venues. We know how much people value our services. We are working hard to reopen venues wherever possible and the list below details the venues for which we are currently exploring future options. We want community assets that are fit for purpose for the ever-changing needs of our communities. Glasgow has led the way in reimagining our community assets and delivering improved models of co-location to increase usage and engagement and some of our services may move to new venues in the local community. The benefits of co-location have been well accepted for a number of years now across Glasgow as a creative way of maximising the scope and impact of important community services by sharing some operational requirements and costs. Examples of this include Milton where the Glasgow Club Gym and local library are based in the same building attached to the local school; Springburn where the local gym, swimming pool and library are based together or in Pollok where Glasgow Club facilities, the local library, a small community museum space and the local health centre are all housed under one roof. Where a service has been moved, the Council and Glasgow Life will continue to explore viable and positive uses for the city’s heritage buildings in line with Glasgow City Council’s ‘Heritage Asset Strategy 2019-2029’1.
