As usual the irrational irrelevant poster putting his own turn on the events. I know you hate context but let's dig on the matter deep shall we :
The land was given by the UN who initiated a partition plan after years of the british being lobbied by the zionist movement who had a proto-form in the 19th century and really took off after Theodor Herzl invigorated the movement from Austria-Hungary in the end of the same century. Then in the
Balfour Declaration in 1917, a letter from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The noteworthy quote from this document is this:
The document speaks for itself. The land wasn't given by palestinians in 1948. It was given by the British in 1917 already, a land and a people they had no right to decide upon.
With this push in just two decades the Zionist movement put real momentum behind Jewish migration to Palestine, and the Arabs, none too fond of either British occupation or having to watch as Jews immigrated
en mass with the expressed purpose of turning Palestine into a Jewish state, grew restless. The British responded to Arab revolts with the
Peel Commission, which for the first time proposed a partitioning of Palestine into Arab and Jewish lands. The Arabs rejected the proposals and revolts resumed. During the Arab revolts,
the British used the assistance of Jewish militias to help suppress the revolts, and even sometimes to the point
of arming, funding and maintaining some zionist units.
The British looked to calm Arab opposition in Palestine with the
White Paper of 1939 which
inter alia restricted Jewish immigration to Palestine and restricted the possibility for Jews to buy land from Arabs.This move was pretty unpopular with the supporters of zionism and with the rise of nazism and the jewish europeans fleeing the anti-jewish atrocities in Europe,
Jewish militias turned against the British occupation and resorted to terrorism against the British as well as the Arabs.
The British stuck it out for the course of WWII, but were clearly ready to wash their hands of it all shortly after.
Then in 1947 after WWII the
UN forced a partition plan where they gave the jewish settlers 56% of the land while they privately owned only 10% of it and offered 44% of the land to the indigenous Arab inhabitants while their population was twice the size of the Jewish one. Of course it was totally unjust, unfair and iniquitous so it led without surprise
to not only one but
two wars,
including the atrocious massacres of palestinians I've given you references of, and after that the newly formed israel state went beyond and overstep the UN partition plan and
seized 78% of the territory. Hence the start of the UN condemnations fo israel because it was created by the UN but shat in its face as soon as it was capable of doing so, like with the british.

So why the population who held 90% of the privately held land should have accepted that we took anything from them because the united nations said so ? Would it have been acceptable for any other country in the world ? Why do you not volunteer to give your country ? How can anyone label all the events that led to this "a war started by palestinians" you're kidding me right ? Then the indians started the war against the europeans invaders and the lybians started the war against the italians too ?
Even David ben gourion wasn't as delusional as you :
If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been anti — Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: We have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” (David Ben Gurion — the first Israeli prime minister — quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.)
