Seema like palestine was a better place when the British where in charge. Same with hong kong.

That's only because Israel didn't exist yet.

Don't know about that. Palestine was still pretty contentious, and a lot of the issues we're dealing with today relate to British management of the territory.

There are very few rulers worse than Israel for indigenous people, so yeah I guess. Doesn't mean the British were any good at it given that they, y'know, caused this whole mess. It's a completely different situation from Hong Kong.
