While the US has been friendly towards Israel and to the idea of a Jewish state, the state itself was created by the vulcanic forces of the holocaust. I'm not taking time now to describe the process in its historical fulness. It was European anti-semitism that forced the Jews out, beginning more than 50 years before the Holocaust.
It is hubris to say that the US created Israel. Israel found the means to defeat attackers in the '67 war without support from the US. That financial support increased only after Camp David. Egypt received as much as Israel, and the loans given to Egypt were forgiven about four years ago. Israel repays the loans plus interest. Do you say the US created Egypt as well?
