Petition For Peace - Send UN Peacekeepers To Palestine
70 years ago, US President Eisenhower believed Israel's aggression and violence against its Arab neighbors were illegal.
Eisenhower certainly did not believe it was 'disloyal' to question the Jewish State's policies against Arabs in the region, he censured Israel three times.
Eisenhower tightly controlled U.S. foreign policy and was pivotal to the UN Security Council’s censuring of Israel in November 1953, March 1955, and in January 1956. The reasons for each rebukes were similar, as they all involved what Eisenhower believed to be illegal aggression and violence against Israel’s Arab neighbors.
The first Arab-Israeli war had ended in 1949 along shaky armistice lines. The censures thereafter enacted were seeded by Israeli attacks on Jordan, Egypt and Syria. The U.S. threatened sanctions if the aggression continued. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles warned Israel’s ambassador, Abba Eban, against any further attacks while Eisenhower spoke darkly of Israeli “expansion.” He was supported in his position by the UK governments of Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden.
On November 7, 1956, President Eisenhower addressed a note to Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion in which he advised Israel to abide by the United Nations Resolutions and withdraw its forces from Egyptian territory.
..... it seems that Israel has never wanted to stay within its own borders and no one has made them do so yet, but that time must come soon
