Israel and Africa: A Selected Bibliography
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2008
Extract
Israel shares the distinction, together with only a handful of other nations, of being a ‘newsworthy’ country. Even before the recent war, hardly a week passed without at least a reference to Israel in either the daily or periodical press. Various American, British, and European weeklies consistently carry articles on Israel. On a per capita basis, probably no other country receives as much world press attention as Israel. Yet, despite this profuseness of printed material, very few articles and fewer books present competent analyses of the Israeli polity and foreign policy.

Page 393 note 1 The author is acquainted, for example, with an instance when an Israeli scholar was refused permission to glance through some of these (unclassified) reports at the Israel Mission to the United Nations prior to receipt of official permission from Jerusalem. This, while the very same reports were available in two public libraries not more than ten blocks away.
