In poor health two months before his death, Franklin Roosevelt met with King Abdul Aziz ibm Saud on the USS Quincy in the Suez Canal on February 14, 1945.
Later, on April 5, 1945, Roosevelt wrote to King Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, promising that as long as he was President, America would not recognize a Jewish State:
"I communicated to you the attitude of the American Government toward Palestine ... that no decision be taken ...
I assured you that I would take no action, in my capacity as Chief of the Executive ... with regard to the question of Palestine ... The policy of this Government ... is unchanged."
Within a week of making this promise, the ailing Roosevelt died.
The next Chief of the Executive was President Harry S Truman.
Truman immediately proceeded with plans to recognize the State of Israel.
In his Memoirs-Volume Two: Years of Trial and Hope, published in 1956, President Truman stated:
"When I was in the Senate, I had told my colleagues, Senator Wagner of New York and Senator Taft of Ohio, that I would go along on a resolution putting the Senate on record in favor of the speedy achievement of the Jewish homeland."
Truman commented at a Press Conference (New York Times, August 17, 1945):
"The American view on Palestine is that we want to let as many of the Jews into Palestine as it is possible."
He wrote to Winston Churchill, July 24, 1945:
"The drastic restrictions imposed on the Jewish immigration by the British White Paper of May, 1939, continue to provoke passionate protest from Americans most interested in Palestine and in the Jewish problem.

Truman was one of the all-time great patriots, as was Eisenhower, both underappreciated by conservatives. Truman was a God-fearing man, literate in the entire Bible as well as the law. Eisenhower, the most powerful military leader since Washington, warned us against the Military-Industrial Complex, just as GW warned us against “entangling alliances” (we ignored them both, to our peril). Hilarious to read for years people here calling Ike a “RINO” because of his ill-considered SCOTUS choices (he relied entirely on advisers to choose them), when he literally deported 1.5 million illegal aliens, by truck, train and boat.
Good grief! Truman was prescient.

Truman is such a hard POTUS to get my head around. Love knowing he was a supporter of Israel. Yet, was he blind to the fact his administration was littered with Communist agents, or did he approve of it?
Was he just in denial of Communist agents operating in his government?
Partly unaware, partly approving.
Truman was a Democrat: a statist at heart.
He essentially created the purely political Undeclared War.
(The vaunted “He Would Be A Conservative Today” JFK created public unions, helping to entrench the Deep State in perpetuity.)
The Ten Commandments.
The Code of Hammurabi.
The Magna Carta.
The Declaration of Independence.
Though that is true, as the header reads, but we are fast becoming a law-less society these days. Laws are not the ‘foundation’ guide they once were...rather... now they’re a barrier you purposely push against, run around, recreate, or find a loophole you can squeeze through. Because we’re also a society that ‘believes’ you should tolerate the intolerable.
