Israel at First Glance
Kirchwey, Freda | November 27, 1948 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents author's experience on her visit to Israel. Israel is far too hard to get to. Because of Arab threats and the anomalous position of the new Jewish state, the only airline that goes there openly and provides regular scheduled service is a Czech line, running planes from Prague to Haifa. Most of the planes are old, the meals poor, the seats uncomfortable. This silly state of affairs will end only when Israel is generally recognized and the Moslem countries no longer find blackmail a useful weapon. Tel Aviv, Israel is a city unlike any other. Tel Aviv was obviously built by impatient people who were thrusting the past behind them and who wanted, above everything, a place of their own, clean and white and new.
