In an age that has become used to high declarations of principle that are flouted in practice. these words might all too readily be dismissed as irrelevant. What is remarkable about Israel. however. is that these words became and remain part of the daily life of the people. Surely. this is why Israel has been able to mold a united people while at the same time welcoming hundreds of thousands of immigrants from diverse backgrounds. Surely also. this is why Israel has been able to develop and maintain a democratic society during times of bitter battle and times of armed and uneasy peace. This is why it has been possible to make the desert flower and the citie. hum in a country so poor in natural resources and so destitute of fertile soil.
