It is well that we pause today to pay tribute to this fine nation and to the brave people of Israel. Among the innumerable startling and revoluntionary events that have taken place in the Middle East since the end of the last war the rise of the State of Israel is perhaps the most significant. The story of its birth. its anxious days during its early years. its growth. its unbelievably quick recovery from the ravages of war. its miraculous capacity to absorb and settle more than 1 million Jewish refugeesall these achievements accomplished under constantly impending threats to its very existenceare rare in the annals of modern nations. But in the course of 13 years of its existence as an independent. sovereign state. Israel has done all these things.
