Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Can you describe who these supposed fundamentalists are supposed to be, how large this group and their influence was? Because it can't be the Haredi, who were far too small and insignificant a group in 1948.
You seem to think im just talking about jewish settler types whereas why that is a small portion of folks responsible for israels existence im talking about european and american financial and political supporters both jewish and christian. Its the christians in particular who wanted to artificially verify their prophecy.
The reason why I read your comment that way is because America wasn't exactly an ardent supporter of Israel in its early days beyond recognizing it first, even going so far as to enforce an arms embargo against it. The UK also enforced this embargo. The most significant support out of Europe came from France, which had very strong ties with Israel, including in particular in regards to both nations' atomic weapons programs. West Germany became a supporter of the young state starting in the early 1950s, when its Holocaust reparations became a major source of funding (and free imports of vital goods) for the government in Tel Aviv.
American Evangelical support of Israel really only started to take off and become a force in American politics in the wake of the Six-Days war, when America, in order to counter Soviet influence in the region, began to back Israel directly. This was also when economic ties started to intensify. Evangelicals, while having voiced support of Zionism earlier (just like more moderate American Christians), more or less rode the coattails of this development.
I would call recognizing it pretty ardent support given that situation. Again how would the US view countries that supported a country that recognized a first nation country west of the mississippi. Would they be not exactly ardent supporters. Im pretty sure for me your moderate american christians would be to me fundamentalist and in the early days support can be counted in one way. Money. Its the same with terrorist groups today. All of them rely on funding from ultimately more legitimate sources. It may get washed in various way but they need the cash flow. Don't get me wrong it had much more legitamacy given the whole start with the league of nations idea wise, but right off the bat the way the borders were unclear and changed from one interpretation to another it was a cesspool to start with and both europe and america should have just stopped in that region. I mean this crazy stuff goes back to the crusades and it was never a good idea to be there.
