Quote from: TDoS on Mar 29, 2026, 06:29 PMToo bad the Americans didn't express that intent during the War of 1948 very much. It certainly showed up through time though, and worked well, Israel now not the underdog but the military super power in the region,, with some help from its friends.

Israel didn't become a military juggernaut in a vacuum, the investment capital to do that came entirely from Amerikan, Brit, Swiss & (yes) German multinational banks, primarily the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, Lloyds, the BoE and the SNB.  This money began flowing in shortly after the Brits handed over Palestine to the  new Israeli goobermint, which had its roots in the Irgun and the political parties that grew out of it. https://www.lycoming.edu/schemata/pdfs/sellers.pdf 

Why were these banks so keen on lending gobs of money to a violent bunch of terrorists who right from the beginning were blowing up hotels and killing as many Arabs as they could?  It's not like they had a whole lot of collateral or high paying jobs.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, despite the fact we're not privy to the minutes of the meetings prior to 1948.  Generally speaking, such things only become apparent in retrospect.

If you're going to misread history and draw faulty conclusions, it would be helpful if you actually knew the history a little better.  You might at least watch Exodus for the sanitized propaganda version anyhow.
