I don't have a problem with the Jews buying land from the Arabs. Maybe you can explain how that gave them the right to declare independence?

The British and their Hashemite allies okayed the original Zionist program when Palestine came under the British Mandate in 1918. Then the UN voted for the partition of Palestine in 1947. The Jews accepted the partition, the Arabs rejected it. When the British Mandate ended in May 1948, Ben Gurion declared independence. Both the US and the Soviet Union recognized the Jewish State. There was a war, which the Jews won. It established the borders of Israel for the period 1948 - 1967.

So: UN partition + winning the war + international recognition. That's how.
