Why did France, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand support the creation of Israel after Jews had murdered hundreds of British servicemen?
>>18764480wanted a bulwark against Soviet expansionism in the Middle East
>>18766033But Israel in its early years was very much a socialist country?
>>18764480The Soviets were the strongest Israeli supporters vs the British backed Arab powers. France chose to fuck Britain over because the former hadn’t restored them in Syria. America backed Israel on the whims of Truman who wanted Jewish votes, even when Marshal and Kennan begged him not to. Austrailia, NS, Canada followed America’s lead. Really the roots of the complete dissolution of the British Empire and its global influence laid with the Arab-Israeli War.
