Speaker. today we pay tribute to the millions of Israelis who left their homes in order to establish a nation in the Promised Land. just as their ancestors had done in the days of Abraham and Moses. They came from all corners of the world: from America. from Europe. from Africa. and from Asia. In many cases these immigrants came to escape the restrictions of their native countries and to create a society in which they could freely express themselves. They first concentrated on the land where all worked together close to the soil for the common good of all. Flourishing farms developed. sometimes where none had existed before. After 1948 when the State of Israel became a reality. they began Industrialization in earnest. Factories sprang up. homes were built for the many immigrants who kept pouring in. and ports were modernized. The cities grew. as Israel experienced a boom. With equal effort.
