Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

[The Evian Conference was] held at the luxurious Hotel Royale in Evian, France, on the shores of Lake Geneva, where delegates from thirty-two countries gathered to discuss the worsening plight of the Jews. Though President Roosevelt had called the conference, from the beginning he made it clear that the United States would do nothing. Britain said there was no room in Palestine for Jews beyond the cruel quota its White Paper of 1939 would set of ten thousand per year, to be ended altogether in five years—and insisted that Palestine was not to be discussed. In addition, Britain generously would allow over the same period of five years, twenty-five thousand refugees from Nazi Germany to enter. Considering the fact that the Nazis had identified 11 milion Jews for extermination, this quota was an insult to common sense, compassion, and conscience.

At the same time, Britain was closing its eyes to and even aiding the influx of many thousands of Arabs, who would later claim to be "Palestinians" descended from the original inhabitants and to have been there since "time immemorial." The UN would consider Arabs who had been there at least two years to be "original inhabitants" but would not appy the same standard to Jews.
