Still today discussion about what actually happened behind closed doors is not welcomed. The documented truth raises seriously embarrassing and disturbing questions not only about how Israel and the Arab/Israeli conflict were created but also about how America is governed and in particular the quality of its democracy.
But the blackmail card had yet to come. Without the propaganda of the holocaust, Zionism might well have failed.
The question at that moment was which of the two forces would command President Truman - the State Department or the Jews?
James Forrestal was the man who rearmed America's armed forces and became the first US Secretary of Defence . He was a man of principle in Truman's first adminstration. The other was the legendary General George C. Marshall, the US army Chief of Staff during World War 2. and who was Secretary of State when Truman eventually surrendered to Zionism.
A name from Truman's past to remember is that of Eddie Jacobson who became Truman's partner in a Kansas City haberdashery store, It was through him later that Truman spoke to Weizmann and was sufficiently "moved" to slip into the Jewish camp.
There was much concern for those who knew that President Truman was very susceptible to Zionist Lobby pressure.
Meantime the story was put out and not denied by President Truman that a search of the late President Roosevelt's papers had failed to discover any record of a pledge made by him to Ibn Saud about prior consultations with the Arabs. Ibn Saud himself was so disgusted by this propaganda lie that he cabled Truman saying that if the President was not prepared to reveal the truth, he, Ibn Saud, would publish the memorandum of his meeting with President Roosevelt and eventually that is what he did
In theory there was no better man than Marshall to help Truman to keep Zionism in check. His two opponents was David K. Niles and Clarke Clifford whose main task was to advise Truman what to do for the best if he wished to be re-elected for a second spell.
What exactly happened in Washington on the 14th May 1948 is something of a mystery. At about 11.30 in the morning Clifford communicated with Eliahu Epstein , he was the representative in Washington of the Jewish Agency and would later become the first Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
Clifford informed Epstein that the US was prepared to recognise the Jewish state upon the declaration of its independence but the US move would have to be in response to a formal request for recognition from the Government of the new State and the request was wanted that afternoon.
Epstein knew of course that Ben Gurion was intending to make the unilateral declaration of independence at 4 p.m. Palestine time before the start of the Sabbath which would prevent orthodox members of the provisional government-in-waiting from travelling by car or appending a signature to the proclamation of independence but that did not change the technical reality a uinilaterally declared Jewish state would not make a request for recognition until midnight in Palestine, 6 p.m. Washington time.
The two men then agreed that Epstein had the responsibility of fabricating a formal request for recognition i.e. on behalf of a government that did not exist and of a state that did not exist. The fabricated letter of request delivered to Clifford at the White House said that he had been authorised by the non-existent government by the non-existent Jewish state that your government will welcome the Jewish state into the community of nations.
At Clifford's request, in order to improve the prospects of Truman going against the advice of Marshall, Epstein took upon himself the responsibility of declaring that Israel would adopt the boundaries as defined by the Partition Resolution. He also knew of course that Ben Gurion had no such intention.
Why was it necessary to fabricate a request of recognition? Why couldn't President Truman wait for the real thing to come from the provisional Government of the Jewish State?
There is only one plausible answer. The instant that the Jewish State came into existence, making the proceedings of the General Assembly an irrevalance, Truman would come upon the most intense pressure ever to recognise it. If he was then to say he was waiting for a formal request his position could easily be misrepresented, or, more so, if for any reason the provisional government took time to get their act together before the request for recognition was made.
With this scenario Clifford's fear was that the cry would go up that President Truman was reluctant to recognise the Jewish State and that would seriously damage his re-election campaign and the prospects of many other Democrats running for office, but with the fabricated letter of request the President would have scope enough for the sake of appearances to recognise the State within minutes of it coming into being. At a stroke that would remove the Jewish threat to the President and his party.
Perhaps Clifford acted on his own initiative or perhaps President Truman had expressed to Clifford his private fear that if he didn't recognise the Jewish State within minutes of its birth he would be crucified.
There is no record if other members of the government were given notice of the President's decision to give instant recognition to the Jewish State. Early in the afternoon when Epstein was still fabricating the letter Clifford had indicated that the President had still not made up his mind.
In 1968 Arnold Toynbee wrote:
"The reason why the state of Israel exists today and why l,500,000 Palestinians are refugees is that for thirty years Jewish immigration was imposed on the Palestinian Arabs by British military power until the immigrants were sufficiently numerous and sufficiently well armed to be able to fend for themselves with tanks and planes of their own. The tragedy of Palestine is not just a local one. It is a tragedy for the world because it is an injustice. It is a menace to the world's peace."
At 6 p.m. Washington time the British Mandate for Palestine expired and Israel's unilateral declaration of independence became effective and at 6.11 p.m. the US gave the new state de facto recognition in response to Epstein's fabricated request.
All the aforegoing begs the question, why have the Jews/Zionists created Israel - a product of injustice, lies and deceipt - as a national home, whilst at the same time they advocate a One World Government for the rest of humanity?
