Israel's Moment Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 January 2022
This chapter examines important memoranda of January and February 1948, overseen by George F. Kennan, director of the Policy Planning Staff in the State Department. They asserted that the Zionist project would undermine the US policy of containing communism, endanger Western access to Arab oil resources, and undermine support for the economic reconstruction of Western Europe. In March 1948 Warren Austin, the United States representative to the UN, announced abandonment of support for the Partition Resolution but for a “trusteeship” overseen by the United Nations. The chapter follows President Truman’s angry response, Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann’s appeal to Truman, and discusses Kennan’s opposition to the Nuremberg trials and continued denazification efforts in the American occupation zone in Germany.
