And before Bush there was that whole situation with U.N Resolution 194.
On November 21st 1963 the New York Times reported “Israel Dissents as U.N. Group Backs U.S. on Arab Refugees.” It begins, “A United States resolution calling for continued efforts to resolve the predicament of the Palestinian Arab refugees was approved tonight 83 to 1… Israel cast a single negative vote….The issue centers on a 1948 resolution whose key section, paragraph 11, concerns the future of the Arabs who were displaced from their homes by the Palestine conflict. They have been living in the lands bordering Israel …. The revised United States text calls on the Palestine Conciliation Commission to ‘continue its efforts for the implementation of Paragraph 11'”.
They were so pissed off there was even a second article in the same paper “U.S. Stand Angers Israel.” It reports from Jerusalem that “Premier Levi Eshkol expressed extreme distaste today for the United States’ position in the Palestine refugee debate…. Israel’s anger was conveyed ‘in the strongest terms’ to the U.S. Ambassador …. The Israeli government is upset about the American resolution before the U.N. Political Committee and by American maneuvers over the issue.”
But, that was overshadowed by a bigger news story the next day, when JFK was assassinated.
