We did - our State Dept pushed hard to stop it while Russia was for it. Truman, against their advice, made the US the first to recognized the new State and was followed by the U.S.S.R. who I believe had perhaps millions of Jews in their country, they still do.
Lets not forget that an obscure state department EMPLOYEE - Alger Hiss - who just happened to (also) be a member of the CPUSA and an active Soviet agent, was instrumental in formulating the Charter (of) the soon to be "United Nations"; or that Alger Hiss was the "1st secretary" of the fledgling UN at its 1st meeting in San Francisco; or that he 'rigged' the UN Charter giving the U.S.S.R., (2) votes in the UN Security Council; or that Hiss was finally convicted (via the evidence provided by another "American" Communist - Whittaker Chambers - former editor of TIME Magazine) - and spent a few years in a U.S. penitentiary. (WAY TOO FEW).

"Collective Leftist" tendencies appear to be baked in to every race and in every generation.
Great add Tom! How could we forget that!
Thank's Shelly.
Sad, but true the generation (before) the Boomers is ancient history - and forgotten too.
If this and the next generation don't start reading history before its disguised by lies no one with know the truth.
Bad news for our children and theirs -
