 as posted elsewhere 
  
 While as the US and their attitude to Israel. 
  
 In the first place after the true horrors of the Holocaust emerged - the US 
 started 
 to feel guilty about the restrictive immigration policies they adopted in 
 the 
 30's. 
 So even if Jewish people, could scrape together the money they were denied 
 entry. So they have always over-compensated on those grounds 
  
 Many Israeli citizens are in fact expatriate Americans 
  
 Just like the USA Israel is mainly composed of immigrants 
 With the Palestinians the equivalent of Native Americans. 
  
 thirdly. While the ill treatment of the Jews never figured as grounds for 
 going to war with Germany,  after the war was won, the discovery and 
 ending of the Holocaust - assuming there were that many Jewish people 
 left to murder 
  
 "Made the whole thing even more worthwhile. 
  
 Good had triumphed over *undoubted evil". No question ! 
  
 Which was then followed by a period of unbridled optimism* shared by the 
 US which included  the foundation of the State of Israel. 
  
 And ever since that time, nobody has been able to acknowledge that 
 quite possibly the whole thing was a great big mistake 
  
 Which is quite understandable in the circumstances is it not ?.
