There was no free Jewish immigration to Palestine before WW2 nor after until the formation of the State of Israel. While the British Mandate authorities have made themselves blind to the illegal Arab immigration to Palestine they blocked the borders of Palestine to Holocaust refugees and they were deported aboard the ships that carried them from Europe to Palestine to detention camps in Cyprus.

Poland was the only Eastern Bloc country to allow free Jewish aliyah to Mandate Palestine. See: Devorah Hakohen, Immigrants in turmoil: mass immigration to Israel and its repercussions...

Whatever The Polish allow or didn't allow doesn't matter. The British deployed their best units in air, sea and land to block Palestine to Jewish refugees. There was no free Jewish aliyah to Mandate Palestine as it says in the article. Anixy (talk) 11:16, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Parts of Sztetl.org are user generated. Furthermore, the reinstated edit - here - inserted text not supported by Sztetl (e.g. "stalinist" nor quite accusations "ethnic nationalism"), nor by Hakohen who supports almost none of the text cited to it (she notes the failed lobbying efforts of Raphael for better conditions for Polish Jews who had already escaped to German internment camps). Introducing material that fails WP:V at this basic level is a serious issue. Hakohen also doesn't mention CKZP. No rationale has been given for the removal of content by Rice (Syracuse University Press) - who explicitly mentions CKZP and states anti-Jewish violence, most notably Kiecle, as the reason for the departure of 100,000-120,000 Jews from Poland in 1946-1947.
