Let me get this straight. The Brits take the lands from the Ottoman Empire, and then decides to give it to the Jewish refugees from the Holocaust without asking the Arabs living on it if they want that? It would be akin to the UN/IMF taking over the US after a financial collapse and then decide to return TX, AZ. NM, CA to Mexico without asking the Americans living in those states. Recipe for trouble recipe for trouble. The last 60 plus years affirmed it. Brits screw up and we are dumb to assume the mantle along with all the headaches.

Yup. Jews have always lived in the r holy land , even along side Arabs.

And what right did Arab have to prevent a prior people

whose nation had possessed the land, and who lost it another nations, resulting in subsequent change of hands by nations, and finally Britain, resulting in the prior nation's people getting it back, and which had no prior claimants left from before them,

from having a nation in part of it, which they could easily coexist with?

See http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths3/MFroots.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_and_Judaism_in_the_Land_of_Israel http://www.danielpipes.org/84/the-muslim-claim-to-jerusalem

Not so: the Brits simply were the last nation in a chain of nations to have power over the land, and gave part of back to the only nation who had no prior claimants before them left.

And which would have also resulted in an Arab nation if they were not intolerant of a Jewish nation there at all.
