Some facts: The Palestinians did not "provide" Jews with a safe haven in Palestine. Palestinian leaders collaborated with the Nazis, did all they could to prevent Jews from escaping to Palestine, and drew up plans for the extermination of the Jews already there if the Nazis won.
As Rommel rolled across North Africa, Palestinian leader Amin al-Husseini met with Hitler and Himmler and they developed a plan to murder the Jews of Palestine. An SS unit was stationed in Athens with the express purpose of murdering Palestine's Jews.
After the anticipated conquest of Palestine by Rommel's troops, the SS unit was to have functioned like the Einsatzgruppen in eastern Europe, following the invading forces, rounding up hundreds of thousands of Jews, and killing them en masse.
Palestinian leader Haj Amin al-Husseini has been identified by scholars as "the most important collaborator with the Nazis and an absolute Arab anti-Semite." He met with Eichmann several times to finalize plans for the mass murder of Palestine's Jews.
All of this is well-documented. In fact, there's a book about it, published by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: bit.ly/2HilbKu. And here's an article about the book and its horrifying findings: ind.pn/2HkrJZl
So no, not only did Palestinian leaders not "provide" Jews with a safe haven from the Holocaust – they actively sought to bring the Holocaust to Palestine, pressing Britain to keep fleeing Jews out and working closely with the Nazis to carry out a "Final Solution" in Palestine.
