Page 18-The Michigan Daily-- Monday, April 19,1993 PAID ADVERTISMENT Happy Birthday Israel! A Message from Your American Friends on Your 45th Birthday f. Dear Israel: In the past 45 years you have built cities out of the wilderness and gardens out of the desert sand. You have taken in refugees from across the globe, rescuing your per- secuted and destitute sisters and brothers in Yemen, Bosnia- Hercegovina, Ethiopia and the former Soviet Union. You are a safe haven for oppressed people worldwide, a place where they can finally live as free and equal citizens. You provided the hospitality and support needed to absorb those weary from the boot of oppression. We applaud these heroic efforts that gave these people new homes, new lives and new hope. In addition you have reaffirmed your commitment to all humanity. You have freely donated your knowledge of arid farming techniques in such places as Egypt, Kenya, and Texas. You have rescued Muslim, Croatian, and Serbian refugees fleeing the scourge of war in Bosnia- Hercegovina. You have offered aid to those suffering from starvation in Somalia. You have, at all times, been a loyal friend and ally of the United States. For the past 45 years, America's friendship with you has been based on the common moral principles of democracy, freedom and peace. In the coming year, you face great challenges including the difficult task of crafting a just and durable peace with your neighbors and the fulfillment of our shared visions of social justice. As you confront these challenges, and many others, we offer you our deepest congratulations on your 45th birthday and our best wishes for peace and prosperity for this year and the years to come. *0 Members of the United States Senate.
