Cut off from the world, with no bread to sustain the starving body, the heavy boot of a barbarian soldiery trampling their very soul, the dreamers of Palestine refuse to surrender, and amidst the clash of guns and swords they are battling for the spirit with the weapons of the spirit. CUT OFF FROM THE WORLD WITH NO BREAD TO SUSTAIN THE STARVING BODY THE HEAVY BOOT OF A BARBARIAN SOLDIERY TRAMPLING THEIR VERY SOUL THE DREAMERS OF PALESTINE REFUSE TO SURRENDER AND AMIDST THE CLASH OF GUNS AND SWORDS THEY ARE BATTLING FOR THE SPIRIT WITH THE WEAPONS OF THE SPIRIT
oul of which is torn to pieces--a little country that is so remote, so remote that her ardent sighs cannot be heard. It is the country of perpetual sacrifice, the country that saw Abraham build the altar upon which he was ready to immolate his only son, the country that Moses saw from a distance, stretching in beauty and loveliness,--a land of promise never to be attained,--the country that gave the world its symbols of soul and spirit. Palestine! No war correspondents, no Red Cross or relief committees have gone to Palestine, because no actual fighting has taken place there, and yet hundreds of thousands are suffering there that worst of agonies, the agony of the spirit. Those who have devoted their lives to show the world that Palestine can be made again a country flowing with milk and honey, those who have dreamed of reviving the spirit of the prophets and the great teachers, are hanged and persecuted and exiled, their dreams shattered, their holy places profaned, their work ruined. A LITTLE COUNTRY THE SOUL OF WHICH IS TORN TO PIECES A LITTLE COUNTRY THAT IS SO REMOTE SO REMOTE THAT HER ARDENT SIGHS CANNOT BE HEARD IT IS THIS COUNTRY OF PERPETUAL SACRIFICE THE COUNTRY THAT SAW ABRAHAM BUILD THE ALTAR UPON WHICH HE WAS READY TO IMMOLATE HIS ONLY SON THE COUNTRY THAT MOSES SAW FROM A DISTANCE STRETCHING IN BEAUTY AND LOVELINESS A LAND OF PROMISE NEVER TO BE ATTAINED THE COUNTRY THAT GAVE THE WORLD ITS SYMBOLS OF SOUL AND SPIRIT PALESTINE NO WAR CORRESPONDENTS NO RED CROSS OR RELIEF COMMITTEES HAVE GONE TO PALESTINE BECAUSE NO ACTUAL FIGHTING HAS TAKEN PLACE THERE AND YET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ARE SUFFERING THERE THAT WORST OF AGONIES THE AGONY OF THE SPIRIT THOSE WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT PALESTINE CAN BE MADE AGAIN A COUNTRY FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY THOSE WHO HAVE DREAMED OF REVIVING THE SPIRIT OF THE PROPHETS AND THE GREAT TEACHERS ARE HANGED AND PERSECUTED AND EXILED THEIR DREAMS SHATTERED THEIR HOLY PLACES PROFANED THEIR WORK RUINED
