Israel has emerged as a strong and dynamic little state. despite the fact that these years have been a period of continuous hardship and anxiety. and despite the fact it has experienced two wars in its brief period of independence. To the credit of the Israeli people it must be said that these difficulties have only hardened and strengthened them. Second. during this period of 11 years Israel has provided a sanctuary for * nearly a million Jewish immigrants from Europe. north Africa. the Arab countries. and other areas of the world where Jews were in need of a haven of refuge. The admission of so many people. most of whom were penniless and homeless. is in itself a praiseworthy deed. Providing them with citizenship. employment. homes. education. and the opportunity to live a life of dignity. is a sacrifice which finds few equals in the annals of human history.
