Zionist Revisionist leaders tried to prevent their cadets from getting involved in Italian politics

Evidence

The Revisionist leadership was well aware of the potential implications of opening a school in Italy, as this would provide their opponents propagandist material against the movement, and wanted the cadets to keep away from any involvement in local politics. In November 1934, Jabotinsky conveyed a message to the cadets in Civitavecchia: “Do not forget even for a moment that you are visitors in this school and especially in this country. Be courteous… . Learn the Italian language… . Do not take part in any political dispute regarding Italian matters.” — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 581
