    Really nice summary. Heads up you say Pakistani instead of Palestinian a few times.

    Never knew about the Uganda thing. Fascinating. Must read more on that.

        Another indigenous population beginning with P who got fucked over by brits who had never been to the area. Easy mistake to make.

          I mean, I do know the difference between Pakistani and Palestinians. It’s just that I know significantly more Pakistanis than Palestinians, so my brain autocompleted wrong.

          Sorry to all Palestinians/Pakistanis I might have offended here!

      Having said that, the Palestine territory was not chosen arbitrarily, but probably because of the significance Jerusalem has to the Jews, where their ancient kingdom and temple had been.
