Miller Advocates Partnership Between Israel and Jewish People

The conviction that “the Zionist movement must reassert, in clear and unequivocal terms, the his ###partnership between the Jewish people and Israel,” was expressed here today by Rabbi### Miller, president of the Zionist Organization of America, upon his ### the United States from a visit to the Jewish State.“The Jewish State was created as a result of that partnership, “Rabbi Miller said. “It will new help establish it security and ### as well as insure creative Jewish living everywhere in terms of those ### had cultural values which have and will still come from Zion and Jerusalem.

“I was happy to see that this conviction is ### by all Israeli leaders including the Prime Minister. Indeed, this was the ### and thorough discussions in the course of which we explored possible measures to strengthen the Zionist movement in the United States by ### closer degree of unity and coordination among all Zionist parties. The Prime Minister gave me his assurances that the ###llest support and prestige of the State of Israel would be extended to such a Zionist movement.“In this connection, I conveyed to the Prime Minister the sincere hopes of countless numbers of American Zionist that, ### Israel ###, there might be manifested a greater spirit of national unity and cooperation ### all parties and groups. It was a source of regret to me–as I believe that it was to the majority of Israelis–that the latest attempt at bringing about a broad ### government coalition had temporarily failed. I say temporarily advisedly, for I am convinced that the vast majority of the people in Israel desire a government representative of all the forces in Israel devoted to the principle of a ### democracy, the maintenance and safeguarding of the social and economic rights of labor and ### of private initiative and private investment. Sooner or later, ### government will come into being and result in a new spirit of ### the country,” he predicted.

“The government and people of Israel are determined to build in the Middle East an outpost of political and economic and social democracy. They are deeply appreciative of the material and moral support they have received from America. Since this support has been traditionally###, they are hopeful that whatever the results of the national election, this support will continue to be one of the keystones of American foreign policy,” he concluded.
