That is why we have embraced Jews living within this Nation and have pledged our support to their homeland. In spite of a housing shortage. Israel maintains an open door to Jewish immigrants. The Israeli Government has made it clear that it will not refuse the admission of Jewish immigrants due to external political pressures. To do so would contradict a major principle of the Jewish faiththat "all Jews are responsible for one another." President Weizman recently reaffirmed this belief by insisting that. "The significance of sons and daughters coming to Israel in large numbers to feel and breathe the atmosphere cannot be overemphasized. Israelis. on their part. will take them to their hearts." This longstanding policy has been a beacon of hope for the 600.000 Soviet and 50.000 Ethiopian Jews who fled their besieged countries and settled in their new homeland.
