Yes. There has been a continuous Jewish presence in the Land of Israel since ancient times, with exiles returning over the centuries well before the 1800s. After the Roman period, communities endured in Jerusalem, Safed, Hebron and Tiberias. Significant Sephardic immigration followed the 1492 expulsion from Spain, strengthening those centers under Ottoman rule. Later medieval and early modern returns added to this pattern. The organized Zionist Aliyah waves began in the 1880s, building on longstanding historical roots.
You of full of mier...
British policy, shaped by Arab opposition, severely restricted Jewish entry via the 1939 White Paper just as Nazi persecution intensified. Prominent Palestinian Arab leader Haj Amin al-Husseini actively collaborated with the Nazis to prevent Jewish refugees from reaching Palestine.
The "welcome then betrayal" story is a modern myth that erases decades of documented conflict and opposition.
No.
Jewish immigration to Palestine began in the 1880s with early Zionist settlement, long before the Holocaust. There was no Palestinian government to "open doors"—the area was under Ottoman then British rule. Arab leaders and much of the population opposed further Jewish immigration, leading to riots in 1929 and the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt.
British policy, shaped by that opposition, severely restricted Jewish entry via the 1939 White Paper just as Nazi persecution intensified. Prominent Palestinian Arab leader Haj Amin al-Husseini actively collaborated with the Nazis to prevent Jewish refugees from reaching Palestine.

This is what millions of people across the West march for, cheer for, and stand with.
“They did it with glee. They were deeply proud of what they did”.
Never forget.
Never forgive.

@JoelWBerry On 26 Feb 1991, two USAF A-10 aircraft were given orders to attack a group of Iraqi armored vehicles.
Instead they attacked vehicles belonging to 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Battle Group that was over 20 KM away from the Iraqis.
9 British soldiers were killed.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder, triggered absolute hysteria among pro-Palestinian students at Oxford — simply by telling the truth about his father’s terrorist organization.
