Mr. Speaker. the past 10 years have been a difficult and struggling period for the people of Israel. Most of its 1.600.000 people in a country about the size and shape of New Jersey came as refugees from the wreckage of Europe. torn asunder by the Second World War. They came with the hope that the ancient vision of the Jewish homeland regained. where they could build for the future without the fear of pogroms and repression by dictatorial governments. would be realized. In these 10 years they have worked hard with one hand on the plow and the other hand gripping a rifle to protect their new land.
