: It is inconceivable that within four short years after the entire European Continent, with one or two exceptions, tried to exterminate every last living and dead Jew...and the United States, a country where a Jew couldnīt live free and which also stood by while Europe did the dirty deed...that so soon after that attempt...one of the real and only and mechanized and thought out and well planned along the latest efficiency lines etc, Holocausts ever...that the same people had a sudden change of heart and reversed a 2000 year trend that had only been growing more severe and inhuman, and of a sudden wanted to make amends and make nice and "give" them their dearest wish, their homeland...at a time when they were about as broken and friendless as they had ever been.
The reason that the US immediately recognized the state of Israel and their right to exist was because the US president at the time was pressured by his Jewish constituients and aides... it's all in his diary or journal or whatever you call it.
"They Dare to Speak Out" by Paul Findley... former senator, or congressman, I forget which. Good book.
Everything else in your post cannot be disputed.
