The United States didnt give aid to the Jewish settlers in the Levant at that time nor did the US even have influence there, it was a British protectorate. Ever heard of the Balfaour Declaration? The fact is that the "palestinians" were Arab hangers on in Jerusalem and TelAviv, and the country was a barren waste populated by more camels than Arabs. It was the Jewish kibbutzim that built that land into a productive territory, and it wasnt until then that the Arabs had a sudden interest in the hinterland. If it was not for the Jews, "Palestine" west of the Jordan would have remained much as "Palestine" east of the Jordan, that is, Jordan, has remained, thanks to the "palestinians" and despite the efforts of King Hussein, a barren desert. Even now, the "palestinian" territories on the West Bank are little more than slums, and the most Arafat has done to build a nation is to beg for money from the Arab world and drool at the prospect of looting Israel.
