Well, "saved" isn't the term I'd use, but they did accept Sephardic Jewish refugees, yes. Unfortunately after a time leadership in the Ottoman Empire enacted laws and policies that were discriminatory, mostly for Jews that wished to live in Syria-Palestina.
If some people are trying to get rid of you and someone gives you refuge. That is 100% being saved, but you and I know why you refuse to use that term, then followed up with criticism of the same people.
I have no idea what you’re saying. If you need clarification I’m happy to provide it. Sultan Bayezid II approved the resettlement of Sephardic Jewish refugees. He was kind in that regard, but the policies of his empire prevented resettlement of Syria-Palestina en masse. His son whom ruled after him later began a campaign to deport some of those same Sephardic Jews. This is historical fact.
They were an autonomous eyalet though, so I wouldn't say they did nothing. The ones you're talking about were invited by Bayezid II to Istanbul and Thessaloniki. I wouldn't say hosting them in your land is considered "doing nothing"*.

How about learning history, instead believing in the nonsense you Maghreb teachers tell you?

Spain low on the list because they kicked them all out 500 years ago
