When it was created in 1948. it had approximately 800.000 inhabitants and. today. it has more than 21/2 million people. I am informed that industrial production has soared from a total value of $372 million in 1950 to more than $2 billion in 1965. In these 19 years. the State of Israel has redeemed land and people.- provided a home for refugees from persecution. restored an ancient spiritual and cultural homeland that thousands of years ago gave the world the Ten Commandments. the Holy Bible. and the JudeoChristian ethics. morality. and religion. I am sure it is not necessary for me to point out some similarities between our great country and the State of Israel. Both the United States and the State of Israel were created by those who sought a haven from religious persecution and a free life in a new land. and both nations translated the precepts of democracy into action.
