The land belonged to the British Empire. Between 1890 and 1948, the Jews bought land from the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire, and from Arabs, and from others living there. They Jews are a wealthy group. They bought land.

The British, who owned the territory, divided the area, which they have every right to do.

The Arabs are the stupid fools, who started the war.
I could argue that the war started in 1920 Since the Battle of Tel Hai. It is much more complicated than you are trying to make it out to be.

In 1937 the Peel Commission suggested partitioning Mandate Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state, though the proposal was rejected as unworkable by the government and was at least partially to blame for the renewal of the 1936–39 Arab revolt.

The British empire really started the war since they facilitated the whole thing.
The Palestinians were denied an Arab State. That caused the war if you think it started in 1936. When do you think it started?

Are you still asking me when I think it started?

You do. You cited the non-binding partition plan as justification for Israel.

Yes. It is not as clear as you think.

The McMahon–Hussein Correspondence[a] is a series of letters that were exchanged during World War I in which the Government of the United Kingdom agreed to recognize Arab independence in a large region after the war in exchange for the Sharif of Mecca launching the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire.[2][3] The correspondence had a significant influence on Middle Eastern history during and after the war; a dispute over Palestine continued thereafter.

The British Empire promised Arab independence and reneged on that promise in a bitter betrayal. Zionism itself was a betrayal. The British Empire is at fault for the conflict.

Binding or not, the world agreed on a State of Israel. Those who did not agree, really do not matter.

No, they didn't. Which is why it was not binding.

Prior to May 1948, there was no war. There were skirmishes, petty fighting among settlers and Jews and Arabs harrassing one another. A war is the one that happened between government / nations. That happened when the Arabs refused the partition and said there will never be a Jewish state in Palestine. Thats one group of people who are failures from the get-go.

Jews had no right to a Jewish state in Palestine. Israel is a puppet nation of the empire. The British Empire used Jews to steal land they promised the Arabs. They are still using Jews to suffer the brunt of the backlash so they don't.

I feel sorry for Israeli Jews. They are being used for imperialism. Empires like to use minorities to suffer the backlash of their policies. It is common imperialistic practice because it works. Belgium did the same thing with the Tutsis in Rwanda. Minority puppet rule so they would suffer the backlash instead of Belgium.

It eventually caused a genocide. That is what the Zionists will face if they don't wise up and stop being used by imperialists to continue ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The imperialists want to build a canal through Gaza. That is why they are ethically cleansing Gaza.

They learn fast though. Hitler started killing them in the mid 1930s, and by 1948, they not only had their own state, but enough firepower to beat off all the surrounding Arabs, and since then nobody can touch them.

That is because the imperialist keep giving them free weapons. Arm me to the teeth and I could do the same. We are giving them money and they have universal healthcare and we don't. That is insulting to American taxpayers.

We are subsidizing Israel's universal healthcare and we are denied it by our same government. Insulting to our intelligence. Only an idiot would not feel insulted by that.
