I saw these people in the camps caught. as they put it. like rats in a trap. and then later I saw them arrive in Israel. free human beings. with their fate at last in their own hands. In this development. which changed the course of Jewish history. which righted an ancient wrong. which came as fulfillment to biblical prophecy. the United States played a decisive role. This reflected not only its sympathy for the Jewish refugees. but its approval of Zionist aims which had been endorsed by every President since Woodrow Wilson. reaffirmed by Congress and hailed by the American people. Those who say that these things were done out of political considerations do a grave affront to the decency. integrity. and intelligence of the American people and their elected leadership. Israel came into existence by the will of the civilized world.
