The Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel

I decided to do a little bit of research on the history of Israeli independence, and read the Israeli Declaration of Independence, which was issued on May 14, 1948. It was made official when the Jewish Peoples Council met in the Tel Aviv Museum. The British mandate over Palestine had just expired, leaving room for the Jewish people to create a safe haven, to establish a "home" especially after the holocaust and massacre of Jews. "This right was recognized in the Balfour Declaration of the 2nd November, 1917, and re-affirmed in the Mandate of the League of Nations which, in particular, gave international sanction to the historic connection between the Jewish people and Eretz-Israel and to the right of the Jewish people to rebuild its National Home." The establish that the country will be a safe-haven for all, and that it will be a country for all races, religions and guarantee the freedom of everyone who lives there. It asks for the assistance from the United Nations to help build up the country, and it also asks for the assistance of the Arabs who inhabit the area as well in also building up the country's stability. The following is an expert from the declaration:

ACCORDINGLY WE, MEMBERS OF THE PEOPLE'S COUNCIL, REPRESENTATIVES OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF ERETZ-ISRAEL AND OF THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT, ARE HERE ASSEMBLED ON THE DAY OF THE TERMINATION OF THE BRITISH MANDATE OVER ERETZ-ISRAEL AND, BY VIRTUE OF OUR NATURAL AND HISTORIC RIGHT AND ON THE STRENGTH OF THE RESOLUTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY, HEREBY DECLARE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A JEWISH STATE IN ERETZ-ISRAEL, TO BE KNOWN AS THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

The conclusion of the declaration places their fate in the hands of "the Almighty" referring to God, and is signed by several members of the council.
