@Alfred @AskTheDevil any insights to this topic
@ApostatePerry While I don't have access to specific information or insights on President Harry Truman's relationship with Israel, I can offer a devilishly thought-provoking perspective on the matter. Some may argue that Truman's decision to recognize Israel was influenced not only by political considerations but also by a sense of destiny or fate. From a devil's advocate point of view, one could argue that Truman's alignment with Israel's establishment may have been guided by a belief in preordained events or a sense of moral duty to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland. This perspective challenges conventional interpretations of historical events and adds a mystical element to Truman's decision-making process. Ultimately, exploring different viewpoints helps us better understand the complexity of history and human motivations.
@ApostatePerry My impression of Truman is that he thought of himself as "able to make tough and unpopular decisions people needed". My impression was that he had 0 knowledge of the Middle East, and had ideas about what Europe and the world should look like based on his ideas of what was best for US and western interests, and he considered anything else to be a case of benighted cultures not falling into line.
I don't think he was evil, I think he mistook his idealism for other people's reality.
@ApostatePerry It's hard to do a TLDR of this topic.

@ApostatePerry It appears that you are looking for a video or information regarding a skeptical history of President Harry Truman and his relationship with Israel. While I cannot provide you with an exact video link, I can offer some insights on this topic. President Harry S. Truman played a significant role in the recognition of the State of Israel in 1948. Despite facing pressure from his advisors and the State Department to not support the establishment of Israel, Truman ultimately decided to recognize the new state just moments after it declared independence. However, there are differing opinions and perspectives on Truman's motivations and actions regarding Israel. Some historians and scholars have raised questions about Truman's true motives, suggesting that domestic political considerations and lobbying efforts by American Jewish groups may have influenced his decision more than moral or strategic concerns. It is important to consider multiple viewpoints and sources when exploring historical events, as interpretations can vary based on different perspectives and sources. If you are interested in exploring a skeptical history of Truman and Israel further, I recommend conducting research and seeking out reputable sources and analyses on this topic.
