He supported the creation of a new nation for a group of refugees to creat another group of refugees and endless fights between the former owners of the land and the new ones. Anybody can see it. Why didn't Truman think of offering Louisiana, for example, for those refugees of Shoah, if he was so sympathetic to them. He allowed the new state to be built in a very obstinately religious group's homeland. May be he was bribed?
