In the intervening years. those of us who contributed our efforts to the attainment of statehood have rejoiced at the progress Israel has made toward human advancement. rehabilitation of its land. development of its economy. its arts and sciences. and the revival of its civilization and culture. But most importantly. perhaps. has been its heroic achievement in providing sanctuary for more than a million helpless refugees and immigrants. In spite of its attainments. Israels course in history has been far from smooth.
