IMHO, it was legitimate for the people of Europe, fleeing Nazism, to be placed in Palestine for safety and settlement (Arabs did not object to this, but warned of increased immigration)

Say what? perhaps you had better review the Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 and the British White Paper of 1939, which slammed the doors of immigration in the faces of thousands fleeing for their lives. The Mufti was a Nazi, not a humanitarian; if Hitler killed all the Jews in Europe, it was more than fine with him.

For someone with all the answers you sure ask many questions.

Pre 1948 most of the land was owned in trust by governments not the Arabs, those governments (British) in essence transfered their ownership to the state in 1948, making Jews the dominant landlord in '48 not Arabs as you erroniously proclaimed.

The Jews were 'evicted' in 1929 by the British after a massicare in both regions killed many and rather than put down the Arabs, the British choose to solve the problem by evicting the Jews. Read your history.

Jews in Arab lands were evicted in larger numbers than Arabs were forced to leave by Jews. The overwhelming majority of Arabs left Israel in 1948 because the Arab armies told them to leave and that they would get twice the land back when the Jews were pushed to the sea. Again, READ history and you may learn something.

About who created Israel. You initially claimed it was the US and it clearly was not. Now you are backtracking and changing your story.

Tell the Islamic people that G_ds word is not law. Tell the Pope that. Tell Orthodox Jews that. They all would answer that you are wrong. So if large percentages of the world's population view the Bible as law, and use it as the basis for law in their countries, I claim it is law. Thus the Jewish Deed granted by his almighty, is our original claim.

I suggest that the correct period for viewing who belongs on the land is those who can directly claim a link to this territory going back to 150BC not 1900AD or 1945. Under that stature, genetically it can be proved that almost every Jew in the world has a right to claim Israel as his land.

You are foolish if you think the Europeans would allow Jews back. Sorry, but now possession is 90% of the law, we possess.

I frankly don't care how many Arabs signed the partition. As for a rationalism for a terror act on the sovergn head of state, there was no reason whatsoever to kill the King, but terror never has a reason, only an excuse.
