Recognition of IsraelWorld War II left Europe in ruins and devastated those who lived there, but no one was affected more than the Jews. At the end of the war, the United States and other countries revealed to the world the extent of the torture and mistreatment suffered by Jews under Nazi control. Many wanted to help these suffering outcasts, so Jewish Zionists suggested that the Jews be transferred to Palestine, where they could live in peace, away from others (Devine, 1). Britain and President Truman felt sympathy for the Jews and decided to help them establish a new Jewish homeland in the Middle East. During the formation of Israel, the United States played an important role in establishing a committee, supporting the intentions of the UN and the Jews, and recognizing Israel as a country. Although the recognition was a success, each event had some effect on Palestinians or Americans. The history of the State of Israel began with a man named Abraham and a promise God made to him. God told him to leave his homeland, promising Abraham and his descendants a new home in the land of Canaan, known as modern-day Israel (Rich, 1). Abraham firmly believed in God and decided to carry out his commandments because he knew that God would be able to fulfill the promise he had made to him. It was here that God gave Abraham a unique homeland so that his descendants could form a model nation. In the Torah, the Land of Israel was considered the only place on earth where the Jewish people could create a model nation (Spiro, 1). The Jews desired to fulfill God's plan to create a model nation, establishing a strong bond between the land and the people for all eternity. However, Jews did not always have political control of Israel; foreign nations had always attacked the country... middle of paper ......e to win the war. Ultimately, 6,000 Israelis lost their lives, but this represented only a small portion of the population, and this victory only strengthened the country (Trueman, 1). The Jews were motivated to keep Israel since the Israelites had been exiled from the Promised Land for centuries, and were determined to recreate God's plan for a model nation. This victory was a premonition of a prosperous future for the people of Israel. It took a lot of planning and patience on the part of the Zionists and others, but in the end the Jews were given their own homeland as a refuge from being tortured by the Nazis. The Anglo-American Commission of Inquiry began attempting to bring Jews to Palestine with the approval of the BMA. Truman supported the intentions of the UN and the Jews, favoring their views. After a failed rebellion attempt by Arab forces, the Jews emerged victorious and the State of Israel was established..
