27 If the Jews have ever enjoyed any measure of peace and security anywhere in the world they owe it to the goodwill and benevolence of others rather than to their own power and strength. At times Muslim governments granted them havens of refuge while at others non-Muslim powers extended protection. Similarly, if the Jews ever emerged as a power it was due not to their intrinsic strength but to the strength of others. Similar is the status of the present-day Jewish state called Israel which came into being with the active support of the U.S.A., Britain and U.S.S.R.
