Disprove the facts. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts.
President Harry S. Truman was the FIRST world leader to recognize the new State of Israel in 1948.
Wow! Truman's recognition was not de jure... he just gave a statement without the US legally recognizing Israel. Indeed he catched a lot of fire for this.
The FIRST state to legally and fully recognize Israel was the Soviet Union, the USA following suit several months later.
And how does recognizing a state make them "closest allies in the world"?
Again... the close US-Israeli relation ship didn't really take off after 20 years.
No one said that we were hostile before that, but as I said, the US was on important points taking position against them.
If the US would have been such a 110% ally of Israel from day one... we would have equipped their army in the 1948 war of independence with US stuff. Instead, they were scrambling together French and British stuff and were purchasing German weapon types in Czechoslovakia to fence of the Arab armies.
Also even when we were giving Israel military stuff (either loan or grant) we did the same to their enemies Egypt and Jordan. Prominent example would be the Hawk AA system.
Here, let me quote the jewishvirtuallibrary:
Between 1949 and 1973, the U.S. provided Israel with an average of about $122 million a year, a total of $3.1 billion (and actually more than $1 billion of that was loans for military equipment in 1971-73) .
Prior to 1971, Israel received a total of only $277 million in military aid, all in the form of loans as credit sales. The bulk of the economic aid was also lent to Israel. By comparison, the Arab states received nearly three times as much aid before 1971, $4.4 billion, or $170 million per year. Moreover, unlike Israel, which receives nearly all its aid from the United States, Arab nations have gotten assistance from Asia, Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and the European Community. Congress first designated a specific amount of aid for Israel (an "earmark") in 1971.
Also see this table for U.S. Assistance to Israel
The first US military loan was a tiny amount in 1959. The first US military grant was in 1974.
Iranian huh, Well YOU need to look at your Persian History. Cyrus the Great and his kid Darius were blessed BECAUSE they treated the Jewish Captives fairly and allowed them to return to Jerusalem and re-build the Temple.
ALSO
For a LONG, LONG time the Ottoman Turks were blessed because they treated the Jewish People w/in their borders with respect .
