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.

Zevi's followers are the ones that worked with the nazis to force German jews to Isreal. Those that didn't listen to their commands were sent to the camps. Zevi took half the Jewish population with him when they broke from the traditional Jewish churches in 1666 and crowned him a Jewish messiah
