*Israel*

[wmaousley]

There was an "understanding" when we placed the jews after the war that we would take care of them. There's an official political name for the agreement/document, but couldn't get to sleep last night so my brain is mushy. The thinking goes that since we placed them there, we are responsible for them. So we've been giving them billions of dollars a year for 60+ years.

Maybe someone else can explain it better

In 1947, the United Nations created the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) to find an immediate solution to the Palestine question, which the British had handed over to the UN. As recommended by UNSCOP, the UN General Assembly approved what is known as the Partition Plan in Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947. The plan determined a specific date for the end of the British Mandate, May 15, 1948. More importantly, the proposal called for the creation of two states, while Jerusalem and Bethlehem would be placed under United Nations control.

US had nothing to do with sending the Jews to Israel.

there we go! my thinkking was/is muddled due to lack of sleep, and this sounds about right.

However, to say the US had nothing to do with it? Maybe officially.

Think about this. In this world of disinformation and media spin, when was the last time a major world event occurred and the US was NOT involved in some capacity?

i think the reason why people get confused is because the u.s. was the first nation to recognize the nation.

If we took the same stance the British did in 1947 and washed our hands with the Israelis we would be better off.

agreed. with china nipping at our heals, there is a potential for another cold war. we need to consolidate power, develop our own country, and let others fend for themselves. It's part of being a soverign nation, the ability to stand on two feet, and do for yourself as a country. Otherwise, it would seem they are more a colony of some other country if they need/require all this support?
