The example is even more marvelous because the people who converted this soil had for centuries been forced to live away from the land and in crowded areas of industrial communities. It is fortunate that. prior to the promulgation of the British white paper policy. more than a quarter million Jews poured into Palestine in the early days of Hitlers reign of terror. These refugees from Germany and other Nazidominated countries of Europe became. in Palestine. aggressive and intelligent allies of the United Nations. Aside from the fact that were it not for Palestine. approximately half a million additional Jews would have been slaughtered by Hitler. the fact stands out that these people in Palestine were heroic allies of the British Eighth Army at a f me when the British Empire was being driven back to its life line at the Suez. These people were our friends in the hour of the United Nations greatest need.
