Question

What U.S. action in 1948 inflamed Arab resentment to the United States?

Answer 1

Support for the state of Israel.

Explanation:

In May 1948 Palestine was divided into two states, one for the Palestinian Arabs the other the Jewish state of Israel. This led to the first Arab-Israeli war where the Palestinians lost nearly all the lands given to them. US support for the new state of Israel led to an increase in Arab resentment towards the US.
