The truth is nobody wanted a boatload of Jews.

 
Even after the persecution of them over so many centuries as “Christ
killers” culminated in the Nazi Holocaust, the lesson still wasn’t
learned: instead of saying “why not just accept Jews as fellow Europeans
and Americans”, it was “let’s give them a ‘homeland’ somewhere out of
our sight and make them somebody else’s problem -- preferably somebody
in no position to say no”.

How did that work out? The Brits wanted to give them Uganda and the
Germans suggested Madagascar. But, no, they had to have the real estate
their tribal god promised them after they genocided the Canaanites and a
few other people already living there. Nothing changes.
