I suggest you study inter-Arab wars if the use of force upsets you.Not only was there no such country as "Palestine", in 1946, there had never been a country called Palestine. Before the British conquered Jerusalem, Palestine was a sub-province of the Ottoman Empire. (And after the British left, of course, Jordan and Egypt moved in to occupy Gaza and the West Bank.)
Totally wrong.
First of all there was ALWAYS a region known as Palestine, going back to around 5000 BC.
Second is that the British did not invade Palestine, but liberated it with the help of a local rebellion against the Ottoman Empire.
Third is that when the Palestinians helped the British they did so with the assurances of independence and sovereignty, which was formalized into law by the Treaty of Sevres in 1920.
So that is when the independent country of Palestine was legally recognized and can not be altered by invasion by Zionists.
Jordan and Egypt never took over but only acted as protectors and administrators.
The British were always Arabists.
Peter O‘Toole can attest to that.
You mean T.E. Lawrence I assume?
And there simply were almost no Jews in Palestine in 1916.

I‘ve heard it all before.
So then you must know that Israel has no justification to exist, and was forcibly made by the US, against the rights of the inhabitants of the Mideast?
That is silly because inter-Arab wars are extremely rare.
There was a war between Iraq and Iran in 1979, but it was started by the urging of the US, and the Iranians are not Arab, but Persian.
If you go back before WWI, the whole area was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, which also it not Arabs.
If you go back before that, it was the Moghuls, who controlled and they also are not Arab.
Etc.
