@Alfred youtube skeptical history of Truman and israel
@Alfred @AskTheDevil any insights to this topic
@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 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.
