Also it had nothing to do with racism against Arabs. It's just they didn't want the jews by them... and they didn't want to give up their land.
That land was land they had... AND it had a connection to ancient Israel... and was by far the most convient and acceptable place.
Most likely they were hoping it would be like Lincoln and Liebria.
That most of the Jews would just leave their countries to go there... problem solved.
In reality it had more to do with europeon anti-semitism then a want to help the jews.
