Not so, it's exactly the same, the British Empire invoked a multicultural America, Colonists and Indians living side by side in harmony, the colonists would have their land, the Indians would have land set aside for them, this is exactly what the British invoked in the Balfour Declaration, multicultural Palestine, the Jews would have their land, and the Arabs would have theirs as well, and they would live in harmony under the management of the British Empire.Okeefenokee wrote:Except the part about the Zionists' intent from the start being the overthrow of the Arabs and the creation of a Jewish state.

The US colonists didn't show up on day one in the Americas, and start going on about how they were gonna throw off the rule of the King. The people funding the colonial adventures in England weren't working in the British government and openly campaigning for the removal of Monarchical rule of the King's colonies.
These aren't the same thing.
The British actually had no interest in allowing the Jews to have an Israel, it was the Arabs who were important to the British, the Arabs were sitting on the oil after all, and so the British were actually protecting the Arabs, from the Zionists who wanted to overthrow British Imperial rule in Palestine, by force of arms, to make an Israel, through military conquest.
