Independence Message

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Yitzhak Rabin, in his
Independence Day message to world Jewry, declared that
Israel "would not bow to any pressure but will continue to
stand firm in order to promote genuine movement towards
genuine peace."
"We would have wished on this Independence Day to be
able to record progress towards lasting peace with security
. . . Once again in recent weeks Israel demonstrated how
ready it is to take real risks for peace, providing there is a
response from the other side.
"Israel will not and dare not, however, experiment with
its vital security in return for vague commitments and frag-
ile arrangements. We have too often in these past 27 years
granted concessions . . . that turned out to be one-sided
and that ultimately encouraged our neighbors to choose
war . . . Israel cannot forget those past experiences . . ."

The Premier continued: "In a world whose moral
strength is being sapped by extortion and political manipu-
lation, the Jewish State looks to its fellow Jews as never
before to join with it in proclaiming the human and historic
justice of its cause. Together we represent an 'unbreakable
strength born out of our common heritage and destiny."
