In the Gaza strip. Israel is drawing plans to build up the fishing industry. improve agricultural productivity. provide new jobs with new light Industry and engage in a dynamic program of rehabilitation. The most pointed and intense appeal of Israelis to Western Jews is for an immediate and substantial immigration from the Americas. This sounds like the old. old song. but it has new and vigorous tones. The larger the number of young. educated and committed Jews Israel receives from the West. the more readily Israel can absorb as full citizens the hundreds of thousands of Arabs it has acquired along with the new territory. "Give us 250.000 to 500.000 young Jews from the United States over the next 10 years." we were told. "and we could integrate all the Arabs in the occupied areas. for such an aliyah would assure the Jewish character of our country and preserve a Jewish majority for the foreseeable future as the states existence is made secure." The Israelis and we agreed above all that this is a time in which Jewish fraternity and solidarity are more necessary than ever.
