    Europe always supported Israel as a victim of WW2

    Israel didn’t exist as a state until after WW2 was over. Europe supported Israel because they equated Israel with the Jews, based on the fallacy that it’s the natural order of things for every ethnicity to have its own nation state and the natural home for all Jews is Israel; and based on the prevalent European colonialist view that this nation-state rule didn’t apply to Arabs or Africans.

      No Israel was created because the world felt guilty about what happened to the Jews in WW2.
      I would think that would be pretty obvious.
