"I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have faith in it now," stated by President Henry Truman in 1948, according to the Jewish virtual library. Truman’s statement sums up Israeli-U.S relations really well, it simply summarizes how well the relations between the two countries are. The instant Israel declared its independence, the United States was there to recognize it. Israel and the United States have been allies since then, and this is reflected by the presidential decisions that were made regarding the State of Israel. This includes the U.S’s decision to recognize the state of Israel, which was carried out by President Henry Truman. This decision paved a road of alliance between the two nations. Even years after, many presidential …show more content…
Max Nordau was one of the founders of political Zionism, and he stated in the late 1800s according to Naomi Cohen in the book Americanization of Zionism, “Zionism's only hope is the Jews of America.” Cohen also stated, "but for the financial support and political pressure of American Jews... Israel might not have been born in 1948." The American Jews played a major role in the establishment of the State of Israel, and this was done by their financial support and political pressures they put on the government. This is reflected by many of the actions done by the presidents before Truman in regards to the establishment of the State of Israel. In 1887, President Grover Cleveland appointed a Jewish Ambassador to Turkey. Turkey was the seat of the Ottoman Empire, which at that time had controlled Palestine. Many presidents after Cleveland had also done this and had considered the Turkish Embassy extremely important, and according to historian David G. Dalin was a response to "the growing number of Zionists within the American Jewish
Israel also is not lacking in terms of authority or expertise on this topic either. Israel seems to know what he’s talking about and knows where and when to give credit. Even after all it is taking to get something done he still doesn’t give up on what he believes in. Israel keeps trying to get what he wants done with gun laws even though it is taking forever and is a slow process, he never gives up. Eventually if he keeps on trying Israel will get his wish on gun laws.

In 1917, the British defeated the Ottomans and occupied Palestine . This promise was later incorporated into the mandate that was granted to Britain by the League of nations in 1922. During their mandate from 1922 to 1948, the British found that their contradictory promises to Jews and Palestinian Arabs were difficult to reconcile. The Zionists envisioned opening emigration on a large-scale and some spoke of a Jewish state encompassing all Palestine.
Jews changed their names to have American names. They did everything that the Americans did like celebrating American holidays and going on vacations at resorts. Eventually, a lot
This can be anything from flying out politicians to Israel, using their own members to contact politicians who have similar interests as them, and even mentoring students at their local student government. All of this to muster up pro Israeli sentiments from the current politicians as well as the future generation. These techniques work so effectively according to polling 46 percent of Americans are more sympathetic to Israel whereas only 12 percent did for Arabs. This statistic is a key reason as to why Americans recognize Israel as a state instead of Palestine. The A.I.P.A.C is instrumental to the amount of military aid Israel gets.
Now, anti-Semitism is not a big concern in Canada (Abella). On the other hand in the U.S., anti-Semitism in America has never come close to the amount of Jew-hatred in Nazi Germany. People took polls and concluded that many Americans looked upon Jews unfavorably. A big sign of anti-Semitism was anti-semitic leaders and movements on the edge of American politics being present, which included William Dudley Pelley’s Silver Shirts and Father Charles E. Coughlin, a radio priest. ("American Response to the Holocaust - World War II." ).
I had familiarized myself with the history of the question of a Jewish homeland and the position of the British and the Arabs. I was skeptical, as I read over the whole record up to date, about some of the views and attitudes assumed by the “striped-pants boys” - the State Department (Truman, 1965). Clearly he did not agree with what his administration wanted to do. Truman would have been happy if the UN would solve the conflict, but that was not tangible. The UN was newly formed, but more importantly, no significant proposal could get past the General Assembly or the Security Council with American support.
