Who did the state of Israel "gain independence" from in 1948? It's a settler colonialist state which was founded on the destruction of historic Palestine. It didn't "gain independence" from the British because the state of Israel didn't exist as a British colonoy and it didn't "gain independence" from the indigineous population because it was founded by Judeo-European ethno-nationalist settler colonialists who were never part of a state under the "domination" of the Palestinians. The state of Israel is, in many albeit not all respects, a continuation of British and French imperial policy in the region - certainly from the perspective of the British and French states but also from the perspective of the Palstinian and wider middle eastern populations.
