Independence Day Message to Jewish Communities Abroad
It gives me great
pleasure to send you my greetings on Israel's 52nd Independence Day. Much
has been achieved in our country during these 52 years. Millions of
immigrants from the four corners of the earth have been successfully
absorbed into Israeli society. Israel stands at the forefront in science,
technology and agriculture and has attained recognition by most countries in
the world and their leaders, who are anxious to visit and learn from our
experience.
All this must be borne
in mind when considering our ongoing struggle to achieve peace with our
neighbors. This past year has had its full share of tragedies and setbacks.
However, we must not become victims of helplessness and despondency. We are
in the midst of a very difficult and protracted process with many painful
contentions. However, just as peace treaties were concluded with Egypt and
Jordan, I am convinced that, eventually, these, too, will be achieved with
the Palestinians, Syria and Lebanon.
The stronger we are and
the greater in number, the easier it will be to attain our goals. I,
therefore, once again call on you, our brothers and sisters in the diaspora,
to join us in our own sovereign country. Together we will continue to
progress and create an even better country for the future generations.
