The credit for these accomplishments lies with the people of Israel. and those citizens who gave of their time. energy. and in many cases. their lives for their country. They are genuine heroes. each and every one of them. To those immigrants who came seeking a haven from persecution and intolerance. from the genocide tactics of the Nazis and the displaced persons camps. the Levant did not afford them the peace for which they had hoped. Immersed in a deadly war of independence. the new Israelis fought to preserve the freedom which they had gained. The land which had seemed to them a refuge was in reality a battlefield. scarred by the ravages of war and destruction.
