"US President Harry Truman was the first world leader to officially
recognize Israel as a legitimate Jewish state on May 14, 1948, only 11 minutes after its creation. His decision came after much
discussion and advice from the White House staff, who had differing
viewpoints. Some advisers felt that creating a Jewish state was the only
proper response to the Holocaust and would benefit American interests.
Others took the opposite view, concerned about that the creation of a
Jewish state would create more conflict in an already tumultuous region."

The establishment of a liberal democracy should supersede all, we believe. And therefore, even though execrable leaders like Netanyahu have emerged, there is hope. And we cats PURR.
