That flag was indeed very similar to the Israeli flag today, as Wikipedia shows:
There were huge crowds also in Palestine to greet the ship, as the New York Times reported then, including Arabs.
Many of the passengers on the ship went to attend the dedication ceremony of Hebrew University of Jerusalem on April 1.
Unfortunately, American Palestine Lines did not last long. It only sailed twice to Israel and back and lost a great deal of money.
