The US quickly recognized Israel, over State Department objections, with much American, including Jewish support. I was in elementary school at the time but I believe that a future friend of mine ran guns here in New York for the State of Israel in 1948. I would have cheered.

My friend, who has now passed away, also took a major part in the Association for Civil Rights in Israel.
