Most tankies support Palestine though, since they believe that Israel is a western colony or something like that.
i would not disagree with them on that actually
Because it is
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government in 1917, expressing support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine. It stated that the British would “use their best endeavours to facilitate” this aim. While the declaration had significant historical impact, it was not a legally binding treaty.
Palestine was not a British colony, but it was under British administrative control through the British Mandate for Palestine from 1920 until 1948. The mandate was established by the League of Nations, and Britain was responsible for administering the territory.
The United States was not directly involved in the British Mandate, but it played a significant role in the post-WWII era. President Harry Truman was among the first to recognize the State of Israel upon its declaration of independence in 1948. The U.S. has been a key ally of Israel since its establishment, providing military, economic, and diplomatic support.
