They didn't. What happened was the United Nations purchased a large amount of land from the British, who controlled that area, and used that land to create the nation of Israel. At the time, most of the land was uninhabitable desert.
Yes, the US supported the purchased. But it wasn't a military action and the land wasn't stolen. It was purchased. But then the surrounding countries saw that Israel was being successful in transforming it from barren desert to habitable farmland, then they decided to get upset and attacked Israel.

After WWII The United States was the supreme power in the world and since the Jews has just pretty much been annihilated the whole world via the U.N. gave the right to Israel.

Do you know anything about history? The Zionist movement goes back to the late 19th Century, but have the atrocities of the Holocaust, the UN wanted the Jews to have their own nation so they gave this land to them. The British didn't really want it so they put up little resistance before they pulled out. The U.S. had nothing to do with it except the UN headquarters are in the U.S. and they may have supported the resolution. Look it up!

Really, Israel hasn't lost for thousands of years, but anyhow, the UN (which involves more than just the US) gave Israeli land to the Jews after WWII since so many had lost their homes.

They didn't, Britain with the backing of the UN did. They also gave the Palestinians land but they decided they wanted all of Israel to.

Where did you get the idea that the US put Israel anywhere ?
You should do a little bit of history reading before volunteering to make a fool of yourself.

The UN did that back in 47' or something, prior to that, there as no Israeli state, this can all be drawn back to imperialism by the European nations, it's not just a bunch of crazy Arabs and Jews.

The current Isreal was repopulated by the jews after World War II with the
consent and recommendation of the winners - not just the US.
