Not only has Israel progressed notably at home. but she has also supported the United States and the United Nations and has undertaken a successful technical assistance program to emerging nations of Africa and Asia. Israel was called "a land flowing with milk and honey" in the BibleDeuteronomy 6: 3. Yet in 1948 much of Israel was an arid desert. Furthermore. the tiny nation was surrounded with enemies and was faced with a flood of refugees which. proportionately. was many times greater than the number of refugees that the United States admitted in the first two decades. of this century. Industrial development lagged. and manufacturing techniques were not widely known. Yet in 17 years Israel has gone a long way toward fulfilling the Biblical pronouncement.
