Britain was supposed to do what Britain pledged to do.
Jews had as much of a right -if not more- to move to Palestine.
Britain had no problem with all the Arabs that flooded to Palestine to find work as Jews were building a society out of NOTHING.

Again, you speak as if Britain had pledged herself to handing over the whole of the mandate as a Jewish homeland, with the Arabs in the area either to be expelled or forced to live in a Jewish state. Where did Britain commit itself to this? It wasn't in the Balfour Declaration or the League of Nations mandate.
In 1922, when the mandate was passed the Jewish population there was around 10%. It wasn't just Arabs flooding into the area.
