A Larger Exodus to Israel

I'm reading the pleasantly-updated Hearts of Iron II aar, The III Reich in World War III by Yogi, and it has one of those Nazi Germany expelling Jews instead of killing them scenarios. As a consequence,

As a result, Britain lifted the limitations on Jewish immigration to Palestine, brushing aside Arab opposition by military force. Several Arab revolts were firmly put down, initially by the British, but soon the swelling ranks of the Jewish defence organisation Haganah allowed it to cow all opposition to continued settlement. By January 1st 1948, in the “Sixth Aliyah”, an additional four million Jews had settled in what would become the Republic of Israel, outstripping the Arab population of Palestine by a factor of at least 5:1. Already Palestinians were fleeing their homeland for Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt.

What if, in an ironic twist to OTL, significant amounts of Jewish immigration to the Levant creates a massive population ratio in their favor?
 
You'd have a similar situation to modern times but less respect of Israel's right to exist by the Western World. Rather than viewing the Israelis as victims deserving of a homeland, they'd be seen as invaders.

Um, uh, no? It would damage Israel's credentials, sure, but the simple fact is, and I say this as s strong supporter of Israel and its right to exist, TTLs outbreeding is hardly worse than OTLs effective ethnic cleansing of large parts of the Arab population of Israel in 1948. People will get over it.

But if you have an enormously huge number of Jewish settlers, then there goes Palestine. They'll simply swamp the whole mandate. No PLA. No cynical weaponisation of their plight by the surrounding Arab nations. No occupation or Intifada. No Jerusalem question.

The situation is already rather dramatically differant.
 
I can't imagine British willing to rock the boat of British-Arab relationships by allowing unlimited Jewish immigration to mandate with WWII looming. BTW, such a migration would likely force re-unification of Trans-Jordan with Palestine, as Palestine itself isn't big enough to absorb 4 mln. of new immigrants by 1948.
 
And another thing-

what if the Zionists had decided to take a few select non-Jewish, Nazi-persecuted European minorities along with them to offset the Arab population? Say Roma- they're not very political and would be unlikely to pose a threat to Israel.
