Question

Medal? Yes.

Describe the role of the U.S. in the establishment of Israel, a Jewish state.

Answer 1

The Us voted in the affirmative for Israel's statehood and encouraged others to do so. U.S. military aid to Israel did not in fact begin until after the events of the war of Yom Kippur. Prior to that, from its birth until Yom Kippur, all the U.S. gave was recognition, and "moral support," however the idea that Israel only won the wars because of U.S. support is an Arab myth. The truth is, historically, the U.S. has had closer diplomatic ties with the Arab world than with Israel, and Israel did not in fact become a "friend" of the U.S. until it became friends with Egypt, a country the U.S. still considers more important in the region than Israel. Israel was able to procure weapons, because of the large number of wealthy Jews outside of the country, who provided money to buy arms
