a birthday this week—their country's. Their
country is Israel—one of the world's oldest lands and young-
est democracies.
On May 6 they will celebrate Israers sixth anniversary
as a 20th Century state, •a modern-minded society and a
land of freedom..
But they will remember the agony of that other May
— 147;1948 — when the invader stood in their fields, besieged
their cities, fired their homes and killed their kin.
Though they were outnumbered and outgunned, they
fought back as Judah Maccabeus once did, as other men of
freedom fought at Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill.
The invader was driven back and defeated. But today
he stands on their frontiers—sniping at settlers and settle-
ments, laying ambushes and seeking to destroy the demo-
cratic way of life.
Israel's people refuse to go down. They refuse to

give up The freedom they won so dearly and prize so much.
Six years ago half of Israel's people were displaced or
oppressed—in DP camps, in Iron Curtain countries, in Arab
lands. They did not flee these places of darkness to be cast
into darkness again.
They came to Israel to live and build in peace, to create
a sanctuary for those fleeing oppression, and to assure these
immigrants a life of hope and dignity.
In six years of struggle and hardship they have built a
land of law and liberty. They have forged half way to eco-
nomic independence. They have brought to life the prophet
Isaiah's vision of Israel reborn :
And they shall renew the waste cities,
The desolations of many generations.
To enable Israel's people to receive those who come from
places of fear and darkness, to help them build their land
and freedom give to the UNITED JEWISH APPEAL.
