Eaczficafiorz For twenty centuries since the harharous Roman empire militarily overwhelmed the Jewish nation and destroyed its statehood. the Jewish people has turned in its prayer, thought, and aspirations to the reestab- lishment of that state. The lllfllly centuries of exile cloaked the creative vigor of the Jewish nation with that hope born of despair. that oyer- powering Messianic hope that precluded any aggressive and forceful action designed for the reenactment of that national drama. the Jewish state. In our generation that prayer has hegun to hecome a reality. That aspiration has begun to become an actuality. Unhowed by the perlidy of Britain and other great nations, unawed hy the British-Arab military might, the Jew stands with resolution and courage on the soil of his ancestors. Witll his strength derived from the knowledge that all the sacred soil of Palestine is his, with his valor stemming from the justice of his cause, the Jew needs no commissions or yacillating. impotent leaders or organizations to grant or slice away any portion of his land. For Biblically and historically the Jew possesses all of Palestine. And Jewish statehood will colne territorially to fruition only when every square mile of Jewish soil is in Jewish hands. The statehood achieved at the cost of much gallant Jewish hlood provides the medium for the rexilalization of the Jewish religion and culture. The Jewish nation the world oyer looks to Israel with hope and expectation. To the Jewish state of Israel with llilmlical houndarics and Biblical vitality we dedicate this hook of high school ineinories. -titres?
