Yet you ignore the earlier American reports which recommend the establishment of a Jewish state throughout the whole of Palestine.
ffs, as I stated before American opinion counted for all wank as they were isolationist and not a player on the world stage prior to their involvement in WWII.  You value someone's opinion (who has no juice) over someone who has mandate over the area?
No juice then. That's why I'm pointing the finger at Truman. When the US did become involved their actions were decisive and it is those actions that, post WWII, led to the creation of the state of Israel.
Yes, why are are still pointing to Truman after I have pointed to all of the British favoritism & support Jews received in Palestine during the British Mandate?

The earlier reports simply outline the position the US took on the Palestine situation. A totally different position to that held by the British. The fact that the solution supported by the US came to pass, as a result of their support for Israel in '48, says a lot.
Please read my previous statement:  The Palestinian Arabs never recovered from the repression of the British Mandate, which made it ripe for Palestine to be taken by the Jews.  By the time the U.S./Truman entered the world stage again to approve of the existence of Israel it was a moot point.  The British Mandate had assured that.

This was not "a totally different position to that held by the British."  Please see my reference to the 1937 Peel Commission.  The Brits wanted to establish a Jewish State in Palestine.
