"To paraphrase Churchill, the brave people of Israel, who were ready to do their duty no matter what the cost, did not flinch under the strain of the past month. They know they have sustained a defeat, the consequences of which will travel far with them along their road; they know they have passed an awful milestone in their history. They know that the United Nations resolution is only the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to them -- not year by year, but day by day -- unless by a supreme reassertion of moral health and martial vigour, they arise again and take their stand for freedom as in the olden time."
