Bermuda Conference




A week later, the American Zionist Committee For A Jewish Army ran an advertisement in the ''New York Times'' condemning the United States efforts at Bermuda for being a mockery of past promises to the Jewish people and of Jewish suffering under Nazi occupation. Senator Harry S. Truman withdrew his membership from the committee over what was percieved as an insult to members of the United States Senate who had been involved with the conference. As president, Truman went on to give the support Israel needed to be recognized as a state.
