The United States had long favored restoration of an independent Jewish nation in Palestine and 20 years ago at the United Nations helped in the establishment of Israel. Our confidence in the people of Israel has been fully vindicated. What they have accomplished in the relatively short span of 20 years is little short of miraculous. Israel has given sanctuary to over a million and a quarter of refugees and immigrants during this period. She has maintained an accelerated pace of economic development unequaled by any other new nation in modern times. This has been done in spite of the need to divert much in time and resources to defensive effort.
