Lawmakers Gather on Capitol Hill to Mark Israel's Creation
How nice. The Balfour Declaration of 1924 created the state of Israel in what was then British occupied Palestine. Nobody wanted the Jews in their country so a piece of dirt in the ME would do. It was not acted on until after WWII ended. Smooth move, that. Only cost the Jews 6M, give or take a few.
When Britain gave it the Jews in 1949, the US was against it. Lost a ship over the deal too. Now we act like we invented the place.
