The number of students in the countrys educational institutions more than doubled and an entirely new Hebrew University campus was constructed. The old campus had been isolated by the Arab capture of the old city of Jerusalem and was inaccessible. But Israel is a long way from economic independence. She might have been closer to selfsufficiency if she had not resettled a million refugees and immigrants. And she might now be standing on her own feet without aid if she were not forced to divert so much of her vital resources to pay for security. For Israel is still besieged.
