American Minute with Bill Federer

May 14

Midnight, MAY 14, 1948, the State of Israel came into being and was
immediately recognized by the United States and the Soviet Union.

A homeland for the thousands of Jews who were persecuted and
displaced during World War II, Israel was attacked the next day by
the Transjordanian Army, the Arab Legion, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and
Iraq.

Against all odds, Israel survived.

On November 29, 1948, President Harry S Truman wrote to Dr. Chaim
Weizmann, the first president of Israel:

"I want to tell you how happy and impressed I have been at the
remarkable progress made by the new State of Israel."

In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson stated:

"America and Israel have a common love of human freedom and a
democratic way of life...

Through the centuries, through dispersion and through very grievous
trials, your forefathers clung to their Jewish identity and their
ties with the land of Israel.

The prophet Isaiah foretold - 'And He shall set up an ensign for the
nations and He shall assemble the outcasts of Israel and gather
together the dispersed of Judah from all the four corners of the
earth.'"

President Johnson concluded:

"History knows no more moving example of persistence against the
cruelest odds."
