From the front page, “Ideologies, the legacy of the 19th century. ... Few were the visionaries who saw what was happening and coming, the world of today - cruel, sober, merciless. Those few knew that the Jews had no solution without a homeland, and there was no homeland except in the Land of Israel. ... After one world war, Zionism took the royal road. Between wars, it fought for its existence, it fought and continued to build and create, even with a sharp sword at its throat. Thus the legend became reality. Thus the plan written on the pages of "The Jewish State" became an existing fact in the knowledge of The Jewish people, in recognition of the peoples.... The Blue Territories The Jewish State”, referring to the adjacent map. ... The final page, “The end of an era. Tensions in the country are reaching their peak. The horrors of war are forgotten in the world, but hundreds of thousands of Jews still sit behind barbed wire fences. The ships are sailing at sea. The departure of Europe 5707, which is returned with tears to the shores of Germany, is a symbol of them. ... The United Nations sends a commission to investigate the land problem. The commission makes its case: The Jewish state will be established in a part of Israel. It is difficult to agree to another division of the land, but the need for political independence is the recognition of everything. Once again, the problem of the Jewish people stands before the United Nations. But this time the claim is based on the existence of a large population in Palestine, on a population of sixty-five thousand, on large cities, on hundreds of agricultural settlements from the Lebanese border to the Sinai border. The nations of the world know, after fifty years of Zionism: The Jewish state is the need of the world, therefore arise and be established." On the facing page, “The problem of Israel before the United Nations: Left: Moshe Shertok with the outlines of the borders at the United Nations”.
