They build for freedom...
THEY
MUST NOT
STAND
ALONE...
These are the faces of a free people — the people of Israel.
A dream like our own American dream inspires these men and
women: freedm, opportunity for work and betterment, peace.
As Americans did, they fought for and won independence.
Like Americans they know that "democracy" and "freedom"
are just words unless you keep doing something about them.
With your help through the United Jewish Appeal —
hi less than six years of statehood —
They opened their gates to 723,000 refugees, reclaimed
600,000 wasteland acres, doubled agricultural output,
put up 136,000 housing units, built 325 new settlements.
Israel's people have forged halfway to their goal of a
self-sufficient, modern-minded state.
75,
But today, their great democratic achievements are threatened.
They are menaced by trade barriers, boycott, the blockade
of shipping, political harassment and the unceasing
activity of border marauders.
The right of IsraCs men and women to build a land —
with a free press, just courts, free education, opportunity
for labor and business, freedom of worship —
is being challenged.
In. the face of today's hostility can Israel's peopite
reach their goal of a pe'i'rnanently rooted democracy
in the Middle East?
The answer depends — in great part — on you.
Your continued help through UJA can hasten their achievement
of economic independence: It can also spell continued aid
to hundreds of thousands in need in Europe and
North Africa and to newcomers here.
In today's world it goes without saying that those
who stand for freedom must not stand alone.
Give to the United Jewish Appeal —
more than ever before.
