![["Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas criticizes the United States for not supporting the United Nations decision on Palestine, calling it a betrayal of international agreements and a retreat to power politics. She argues that the US should have taken a firm stand to prevent violence and support democracy in the region. Douglas believes that the US backing down sets a dangerous precedent and will only lead to more violence in Palestine. She urges for strong and principled leadership to uphold international decisions."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0000-Statements%20in%20Congress,%20speeches,%20and%20press%20releases%20of%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Statement on Supporting the State of Israel: Honorable Helen Gahagan Douglas, 1948")
