At the time the new state was set up early in 1948 the Jews were numbered close to if not an actual majority of the inhabitants of that area of about 5.000 square miles. Today the State of Israel boasts of more than 1.800.000 inhabitants. Thus in 11 years the small State of Israel has provided homes and safe haven for more than 1 million homeless Jewish refugees. If Israeli leaders and Israels citizens had accomplished nothing else. the performance of this daring and difficult task alone entitles them to our admiration. But they have done more. much more than that.
