That’s not accurate. The US saw the creation of Israel as a way to establish US presence against the colonial support of Great Britain and the Soviet support of the USSR in the Palestinian Arabs. The US provided the forces for “containment” as it was called. The Jewish settlers did not have the means to do what was done, having just been displaced from Germany and Poland.

Do you just post links hoping people won't read them and they'll be like 'oh shit, this person is posting sources!'
A thesis for a masters degree in history in 1980(EDIT: 1990, not 1980) at Old Dominion university a source is not.
Especially for something as ahistorical as your point of view. Especially for trying to absolve the Zionists of any agency or responsibility for their actions. Truman and the international community voted and approved the partition plan. David Ben Gurion and other Jewish leaders in Zionist terrorist organizations like the Irgun and Lehi under the Haganah used it as a stepping stone to enlarge their territory through forced ethnic cleansing and murder sprees.
I don't know how to even respond to this it's so nonsensical. All I can imagine is it's an attempt to link in the Holocaust with the formation of Israel. As if the influx of Zionists to Mandatory Palestine started in 1945. If that was the case, Zionists should have just been given Austria or something.
It's clear at this point you're either arguing in bad faith or just so delusional as to be living in an alternate universe.
I will actually give you the benefit of the doubt here in the bad faith bit here though. You don't seem malicious, you seem like you believe your own nonsense.
Either way, I'm done with this.
Edit: Sorry, the 1990, not 1980.
