A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION | Honoring the State of Israel on its Sixty-fifth
Anniversary.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, The members of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio
are pleased to congratulate the State of Israel on the Sixty-fifth
Anniversary of its independence; and |
| WHEREAS, After World War I, Great Britain was tasked by the
League of Nations to govern the area of the Middle East known as
Mandatory Palestine, which was populated by Arabs, Muslims, and
Jews, but after World War II, the huge influx of Jewish refugees
fleeing the Holocaust led to strife in the region. Unable to
resolve disagreements between Arabs and Jews, Great Britain
announced plans to withdraw from Mandatory Palestine, and on May
14, 1948, the day before the termination of British rule, David
Ben-Gurion, the executive head of the World Zionist Organization
and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared the
establishment of the State of Israel. The United States was one of
the first countries to recognize its independence; and |
| WHEREAS, The people of Israel have established a
parliamentary democracy that incorporates the freedoms cherished
by the people of the United States, including freedom of speech,
freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom of the press,
and government by the consent of the governed. Israel continues to
serve as a shining model of democratic values, and it has become a
world leader in such areas as economics, technology, health care,
energy, and humanitarianism. The Israeli government has worked
with the governments of neighboring Egypt and Jordan to establish
bilateral peaceful relations, and despite not being recognized by
other nearby countries, it continues to seek peace in the Middle
East; and |
| WHEREAS, Israel maintains a strategic partnership with the
United States based on shared democratic values, friendship, and
respect. Because we, as Americans, appreciate and respect the
backgrounds of each of our nation's citizens, we are pleased to
join in the celebration of Israel's Independence Day, which on the
Jewish calendar, coincides with April 16, 2013; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly
of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the State of Israel
on the Sixty-fifth Anniversary of its independence and extend best
wishes to its citizens on the celebration of this milestone; and
be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this Resolution to the news
media of Ohio. |
