It was part of the Ottoman Empire given to Britain to rule, much of the land was never owned by palestinians but by Turks. The palestinians were tenants, and the OWNERS sold the land. The israelis BOUGHT it. So the land owned by the Ottoman Empire was Given to the Israelis and some of the land was purchased from the owners by the israelis......
You seem to think that these so called countries have been there for hundreds of years, they are new.

Who the hell are the British to give anything that was Palestinian land?

The United Kingdom was granted control of Palestine by the Versailles Peace Conference which established the League of Nations in 1919
