Israel made the right decision. but let no one think that it was not an agonizing one for the Israeli leadership. a decision that could have cost the lives of Israeli citizens. Now Israel is asking the United States for help in absorbing a 25percent increase in her population. about 1 million Soviet and Ethiopian Jews over the next few years. Already in the past 2 years. Israel has taken in twice as many refugees as the United States. about 100 times as many on a per capita basis. Israelis stood by us. now we should stand by them. Its that simple.
