    Holocaust refugees who were turned away by every other country in their hour of need

    You may want to read up more on that:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel

    Immigration to the land of Israel started way before the Holocaust or the establishment of the state of Israel, actually against the wishes of the British, and it wasn’t the British who pushed a million Palestinians out.

    After WWII the Jewish population understandably feared staying in non-friendly countries, but still during the early 1950s about 10% of the immigrants left to other countries that had no problem taking them in.

    However, the bulk of immigration happened following a pre-Holocaust One Million Plan, which ended up focusing on Jews from Islamic countries… ironically not because of Holocaust refugee status, but over concerns of retaliation for taking over the land of Israel from the Palestinians in the first place. Which indeed, they did retaliate.

    And look at that, the conflict has continued festering to this day.

    If it wasn’t for the Zionist agenda, there might not have been a state of Israel… and Jews might have been to this day living as before in Islamic countries among others without fear of persecution, with Holocaust refugees having plenty of choices ready to take them in. Alas, the Zionist agenda won, and the number of Jewish refugees increased several-fold… which only further fed the agenda.

    The implications of all that for the radicalization of the Islamic world, would be an exercise for another time.

      The link you just gave about the One Million Plan puts it during the holocaust, 1944. Mistake?
