| Summary: | The aim of this work is to analyze how the leftist Italian press built the Israeli and Palestinian image between 1947 and 1957. The research has been focused on the study of the articles that were published in important periodicals of that period, with the purpose of analyzing the way in which these newspapers and magazines changed the language they used to talk about the inhabitants of the land of Palestine. The thesis of this article is that these periodicals built up multiple and contradictory representations of Israelis and Palestinians. These representations were not related to the Middle East reality. On the contrary, they were due to national and international ideological questions (the relationships among Italian parties and the evolution of the Cold War dynamics). |
