I do not have the time to dig for the info which disproves the assertion that the USA voted in the UN for the establishment of the state of Israel.

The fact is that the USA voted against the resolution in the UN, but once it passed w/out the vote of the USA not 12 minutes later the USA recognized Israel as a sovereign nation.

The USA was first to officially recognize the Israeli state.

Why not take the time to find a source for your argument next time you want to post your claim:
The partition plan was approved by 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions.

The 33 countries that cast the “Yes” vote were: Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Byelorussia, Canada, Costa Rica, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Haiti, Iceland, Liberia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine, Union of South Africa, USSR, USA, Uruguay, Venezuela.

The 13 countries that chose the Hall of Shame and voted “No” were: Afghanistan, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Yemen.

The ten countries that abstained are: Argentina, Chile, China, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Honduras, Mexico, United Kingdom, Yugoslavia.

The USA cast a "yes" vote. Are you contradicting that?
