It wasn’t any harder to get in to America then it was to get into Israel post-WW2. How do you think half of today’s Jewish population ended up in the USA?

“You are missing the point: i think it would have given the Jews a place to run to.”

And be ch”v massacred in. The IDF would never have been able to stop the Nazis. So what would it have helped?

“In fact the Jews that were in Eretz Yisroel weren’t harmed by the Nazis.”

Only because there weren’t enough of them for the Nazis to make it a high priority (although even so, they came extraordinary close). If there would have been a Jewish State, the Nazis would have been much more keen on ch”v conquering and annihilating it.

“Or do you only believe the Arabs who used the pretext that they hate Jews because of Zionism?”

Forget what the Arabs say; look at what they do. For thousands of years our Sefardi brethren coexisted with the Arabs in relative peace and prosperity (particularly when compared to what the situation was like in Christian Europe at the time). But in the mere 65 years since the creation of the State of Israel, between 13,171 and 14,657 Jews were killed in the various Israeli-Arab wars, and just about every Sephardi community throughout the Arab lands was expelled, left with nothing besides what they could carry.
