Meanwhile Israel says they were alone and no one helped them during the holocaust.

The sheer ungratefulness of the blood shed by gentiles to rescue them from they very horrors they now inflict to others.

Meanwhile Israel says they were alone and no one helped them during the holocaust.

It is a well documented fact (Havaara agreement) that Israel had diplomatic relationship with nazi germany during the holocaust. 60'000 jews emigrated to israel out of something like 300'000 request (this number varies depending on the spurce). What is sure is that Israel systematically refused entry to those unable to work or provide capital, such as elderly, children, infirm and sent them back, while being perfectly aware of what was going on in Europe.

While the distinction is made israel as a concept is a nationalist ethnic state born in the late 20th century. It has never been very different from the other dictatorships of the time, and quite clearly is not.

Do you have any further reading about Israel denying Jews entry?

I can't find any information on that part.

Search for fifth Aliyah or Aliyah bet.

Formally the restrictions had to be British, because the territory was under british administration at the time following the destruction of the ottoman empire after WW1 and the Balfour resolution. But in practice the territory was administrated by the Jews that had immigrated there in the previous years carrying out the Zionist plan proposed by Hertz.

Edit: For more information you might want to search for some scholarly documentation, but I can't help you much as I got most of this info from some history podcast in italian.
