Israel was not formed from thin air. Treaties were signed and land was passed through the UN to its government from the UK. You may not agree with the actions that were taken but they are legal and binding documents even if the Bible is not.

UN resolutions are not "legal and binding", they are just UN resolutions. They may be somehow legal, depending on your definition, but they aren't "binding" unless the UN enforces them. Case in point, the UN passed (in 1967) a resolution (I think it's 242) demanding Israel's withdrawal from the land occupied in the 1967 borders to clear and defensible borders, and there hasn't been much "binding" on that resolution in the past 38 years.

You can't have the 1947 UN resolution establishing Israel be "legal and binding", while the 1967 UN resolution mandating Israel's withdrawal from the occuppied territories be a mere "best effort recommended action".
