Speaker. many startling and revolutionary events have occurred in the explosive Middle East since the end of the last war. Among these the emergence of the State of Israel is perhaps the most noteworthy and most significant. The story of its birth. its anxious days during its formative years. its growth. its almost miraculous recovery from the ravages of war. its almost unbelievable ability to absorb and settle more than 1 million Jewish refugees. its success in making these refugees useful. productive. and patriotic citizens--such amazing achievements accomplished under constantly impending threats to the countrys very existence are rare in the annals of modern nations. But in the course of 11 years of its existence as an independent. sovereign entity. the State of Israel has done all of these things. It has held off a host of enemy nations and has come out of this terrible struggle morally unscathed. with honor. and physically stronger.
