This whole issue was not caused by America.

In fact originally America was neither for nor against the creation of Israel. It wasn't until the late '50's that the US started to really back Israel and that was only for the purposes of the cold war.

Israel exists because of the UK being ignorant in their colonial view of the world and European Jews being much better trained and better equiped than the Arabs.

 Actually, the USA played a key role in securing a majority for the 1947 UN vote on partitioning Palestine.
