Thank you for this piece Adebayo. As a Palestinian, I always wondered about that alternative. From my book Fugitive Dreams:

"What if I woke up one day in a parallel universe, wherein Uganda (another early candidate) had become the Zionist state? What would the implications be, assuming Palestine remains free? Would I instead be living in Ramleh with my extended family? Would I have traveled as widely as I have? Would I have met the friends I have now? Even more fundamentally, would my parents have even met?

"Stuck in Lydd or Ramleh, what would my reaction be to hearing about the poor “children of Uganda,” driven by the Zionists into refugee camps? Would I care? Would I even hear about them?"

The double-colonization of Palestine - by the British and the Zionists - made the liberation struggle much more challenging.
