Z1On!" That questlon-So often
put quizzically and skeptically-is
now answered. They do. In the
present universal breakup of the
old order and the remaking of the
worlds map the leaders of the Jew
ish race on both sides of the At
lantic have made simultaneous and
successive appeals to the peacemak
ers and mapmakers to provide for
the building of new Hebrew state
in Palestine For bitter centuries of
long suffering they have been peo-
pie without home. And yet they
are a people whose passionate love
Of family ever marks them as pc

will want-like the rest of us-the
existence of a home land where the
Jew is master and host and neither
alien nor guest.
Naturally the land they covet is
Zion. 1t was there that they first
tasted the heady joy Of being a
sovereign people, having equal and
honorable relations with other SOW
ereign people, entertaining monarchs
at their capital, repelling armies at
their frontiers, raising splendid tenn
pies to their God who is also our
God But they were a small peo-
pie, planted with fatal il1-luck at
the crossroads of the ancient world.
Whether it was Assyria that
marched on Egypt or Egypt on AS

Baby1onians, the Phoenicians or
the Romans set out on the high
ways of conquest, they tramp1ed
across the plains of Palestine and
laid siege to. her strongholds. The
Jews were in sense the Belgians of
their era-their country was the
cockpit of antiquity.
But they achieved the spiritual
and religious leadership OF the age.
Their bodies were carried into cap

lost their land, but not their racial
identity. History records no other
case that at all approaches so long
