I think the Holocaust had a lot to do with President Truman’s decision to support a nation state for the Jews:
“Truman wrote:
Hitler had been murdering Jews right and left. I saw it, and I dream about it even to this day. The Jews needed some place where they could go. It is my attitude that the American government couldn’t stand idly by while the victims [of] Hitler’s madness are not allowed to build new lives.[116]”

I’m very proud of the haberdasher from Kansas City.
