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."
