    Well, it should also have been Palestine’s independence: The UN mandate was dissolved, terminating British rule, and then instead of having two brand-new states shit hit the fan even harder. Zionists wanted their state, surrounding Arab states wanted to have none of that, hence also why Jordan grabbed the West Bank.

    I mean in all other cases we call the point where colonial mandates were removed “independence”, it doesn’t really matter that the state then established is also a colonising state. Random example: The USA.
