>>nobody, including us, would take them<<

That's why I scoff at the argument that our support for the 1947 partition had nothing to do with feeling guilty about the Holocaust.

Historians will probably debate until Doomsday whether the US should have done more prevent the Holocaust. The consensus is that destroying the Nazi regime as fast as we could was the right thing to do, but many argue that we should have, for instance, bombed the train tracks leading to the death camps. Not so, argue others, we did not possess precise enough bombing to accomplish this, and needed to save the bombs for larger targets like munitions factories. And so it goes.

Guilt? Hell, yes.

Supporting the establishment of Israel was politically far more feasible than letting a bunch of Eastern European Jews immigrate to America, I have no doubt.
