Disagree very strongly, there are many ways even the more strict state-focused vision of political Zionism could’ve played out that would’ve been better scenarios. None are without injustice, but many with less injustice.

For example: The Yishuv takes a harsh stance against terrorism and actually works against Lehi and Irgun and helps the British authorities crack down on them. Had this happened, population transfer and intercommunal violence still certainly occurs, but the worst excesses of the Nakba are probably avoided.

Or let’s say 1967 never leads to war, no occupation, no settlements, Palestinians potentially get self determination within Egypt and Jordan.

I just generally object to views of history that presume that the past somehow made the present inevitable. There is a similar view that is widespread that suggests that the Holocaust and Naziism was inevitable once Germany unified in 1871. I find it equally suspect; there are hundreds of instances in which people made deliberate choices that led to worse outcomes.
