You missed something...

The Arabs did not sign any agreements to create a "Jewish" State in Palestine. Upon the creation of that State, was an act of war and the Arabs retaliated. That is what precipitated the initial battle.

Jordan, or any other country is not going to give Israel an "out" by taking in the displaced Palestinian refugees or granting citizenship to them. That would set a precedent that Israel and the West would jump on.

As far as historical revisionism goes, there is plenty of it to go around, starting in the times of Canaan.
