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”.
 

After what happened to the Jews, they weren’t willing to trust other
countries’ good intentions.

Actually, they were. Most of the world’s Jews still have no desire to live
in Israel. And many of them reject any claim that the Zionist state has to
speak on their behalf.

The excuse for setting up Israel was it would be a “safe place for Jews”.
Do you think it’s a “safe place for Jews” right now?
