"When the catastrophe descended upon the Jews of the world, and Jews began coming to Palestine in 'illegal' ships, as they still do, we saw these children of ours go down to the seas and risk their lives -- this is no rhetoric, but literally so -- to ford the waves and reach the boats and bear the Jews ashore on their shoulders." "One miracle was that the Jews still came, in the face of British gas bombs and truncheons, knowing that some might be killed and that all would be shipped"--My Life (1975) by Golda Meir |
