We can draw a general picture of Israel’s economy
by referring to studies made by Israeli or Zionist experts
in the economic field:
Halford Hoskins states: «Economically speaking,
Israel is a highly artificial state. Despite phenomenal
achievements and monetary investment on a relatively con-
siderable scale, Israel is farther from earning its own living
than any other contemporary state. It cannot continue
indefinitely to plan for the future on the basis of adequate
support from public and private sources in the U.S. and
elsewhere abroad». (11)
Harlan Cleveland states: «Israel is the only country of
the world (unless postwar Nationalist China be counted as
another) where the amount of aid from all sources has
been so great as to bring into question the capacity of the
recipient to absorb it efficiently». (12)
An official! Israeli source states: «Israel’s import
surplus has been financed by continued foreign borrowings.
as well as by unilateral transfers. As a result, Israel’s
foreign debt has grown to roughly half a_ billion dol-
lars» (13) during the period 1950-1958.
The remaining two points which need clarification
pertain to the indirect aid received by Israel. The first
point revolves around the American Zionist institutions
and organisations operating in the U.S. on the political,
economic and propogandistic levels in favour of Israel. The
second point is related to the pressure exerted by the
U.S. Government on other West European Governments
to offer Israel different forms of aid.
