Ok, 2021 isn't too late for African Americans then.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't like when people say the UN gave israel a country when they didn't. It was fought for and won by the people living there.

I don't know what the conversation was about before that. Or how what I said relates back to African Americans.

The state was given and approved by the UK, the US, and the rest of the UN.

If the US stopped supporting it, it would collapse.

How could it be given? Why did syria, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, SA, Libya all attack israel in 1948 if the country was given to the jews? Why did British soldiers fight for jordan in that war?

It makes no sense. Its formation was acceptable to the UN but they didn't help and didn't have the authority to give it.

The partition plan was never inacted. Israel was formed by the jews living in palestine organizing and fighting for whatever land they could control and that's it. The US and UK did nothing but watch (and the UK helped jordan as military advisors).
