In this episode, Ben Kearns and Alex Wallace discuss the Alternate History of Middle Eastern affairs from The Balfour Declaration onwards. In Part1, could the Balfour Declaration have been worded differently? Could the British Mandate period have gone more-or less successfully? Would the state of Israel have been established without the Second World War-and conversely, is there any way Israel could not have been formed if World War II had ended the same as in our world? In part2, we talk about the prospect of Israel being formed with an alternate leader, the consequences of a Soviet aligned or Neutral Israel and alternate outcomes to the 1967 and Yom Kippur wars. Part3 sees us discussing no Camp David accords and the consequences of Sadat and Rabin surviving their assassinations in 1981 and 1995 respectively. Plus in the Feedback Hub, we discuss Sealion Press articles, the Birthday of the Alternate Timelines site and much more!
