| Mr. Truman, seated at a desk, is speaking: | ||
| "I also antagonized a lot of people by recognizing the state of Israel when it was formed." | ||
| He goes on to describe seeing where the Jews were killed by Nazis at Potsdam, and mentions the slaughter of 6 million Jews. He wanted a homeland where they could operate. Arabs were moved out, but were compensated for the land they had to give up. Jews have a small but energetic republic, and they have accomplished much. A few years ago, they had a fuss with Egypt, and they drove the Egyptians back. If the President of the United States hadn't interfered, they'd have driven Nasser back to Sudan, where he belonged. | ||
| (Then, Mr. Truman laughs and comments that this won’t help diplomatic relations). |
