promIgo blooms i n is degertf

This was the land. Brown and barren. Dead. No one lived on this
land. Nothing could grow in the dust-dry, worthless soil. Nothing
would ever grow, they said: this has been desert for thousands of years... the desert

of Palestine. And then the Jews came ...

This is the land. Green and growing. Alive. For they went forth into
the desert, and the desert has flowered. The desert of Palestine is

marked, now, by the plowshares of Jewish pioneers. The earth yields a rich harvest
of grain and fruits and vegetables. And a still richer harvest of strong. self-reliant
men and women. The laughter of children is clear over the land.

Give them a place to live—a place to grow. The 1,500,000

homeless Jews of Europe are just like those who went to
Palestine as pioneers, and made the desert bloom.

eumil. What of tomorrow? The hapless people of Europe's DP camps —
people like this man, who is now building his life anew in Pales-
tine—give the world a promise for tomorrow—a promise that has flowered in the
desert of Palestine. And this is the promise: Give us land, even though it be desert,

and we will make that land fruitful. For what has been done, can be done again.

will be more fruitful for their coming. What has been done
can be done again ... if you will help!

This Is Your Part

Give them a piece of earth. They will make it fertile.
They will bring forth a harvest. They will rear strong sons
and daughters. They will become useful men and women
... for they have much to give to the world.

It is your part to give ... to give more than you can afford.
To give sacrificially. Only through your limitless generosity
can the 1,500,000 hope to find their way to new land ...
new homes ... new lives.

Give them land of their own. And whether it be in Pales-
tine, or America, or some other hospitable land—the land

Only through your help can the promise that blooms in
the desert be fulfilled.

GIVE THEM LIFE—and make it worth living
