The Representations of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in the Italian New Left’s Periodicals of the 1970s

Abstract

This article presents and discusses the representations of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict produced in Italy during the long 1970s by the most important organizations of the New Left. The goal is to reconstruct the often radical and prejudiced discourses of the extreme left, highlighting how in the middle of the Seventies we can identify a break in the ways in which the Italian New Left chose to interpret the Middle Eastern political scenario.
