You can make the link if you change the definition, but it wasn’t a form of colonialism. That said, no point in arguing because it’s a distinction without a difference.
Additionally, I would think the European model of dividing the ME would be closer to imperialism. They didn’t occupy the country, they just installed monarchs for economic control over their resources.

Of course it was imperialism. Why are you making such a big distinction with colonialism? No, Brits didn't move to Palestine en masse to settle it. Yes, it's a distinction without a difference. They're basically the same thing.
If of course it was imperialism then just say so. I only said it’s a distinction without a difference because I constantly hear people confuse the two. There is a difference, yet to our youth, they make no distinction...:)
