What if Palestine Had Never Been Colonized?

A hypothetical Palestine: What if there was no British Mandate? The recent TikTok video by KING CUZZY BLOGG presents a thought-provoking counterfactual history of Palestine. The video imagines a Palestine untouched by British colonialism and the Balfour Declaration, suggesting a vastly different outcome. 'What if Palestine had never been colonized?' the narrator asks, highlighting the potential for a thriving Arab nation free from conflict and displacement. The video uses historical maps to visually support its claims. While the video's perspective is clearly pro-Palestinian, it raises important questions about the impact of colonialism on the region's development. A balanced article could explore the video's claims, incorporating additional historical perspectives and expert analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of Palestine's history and current situation. It could also discuss the ethical considerations of using counterfactual history to promote a particular political narrative.
