    On top of that, Jews fleeing from Europe would still need a place to live and there is a decent chance that the British would still give up Palestine to form Israel. Maybe a few years later and with a few details changed but overall not much of a difference.

      Israel exists due to US support for Heganah and similar groups, and global guilt following the public awareness of the Holocaust.

      Britain being defeated would probably led to a loss of empire, and with Palestine outside British control the “memo to aid in creation of a Jewish state” would cease, there’d still be Jewish terrorists groups, but it’d go very differently without US power projection and Nazi sphere of influence.
