In this war for the minds of men such an achievement cannot be overestimated. These then are the accomplishments of the State of Israel in the brief 13 years of its existence. It has fought two wars of survival. it has admitted and absorbed nearly one million immigrants. it has stabilized its economy. raised its standard of living. become industrialized. and made its desert bloom. and it has helped other states who are not as advanced as it is. I have elaborated on these accomplishments in such detail because I am so deeply impressed by them. When I recall that not many years ago the Jewish people were looked upon as a people incapable of defending themselves. as a people incapable of working the land. a people downtrodden and persecuted.
