You're right it was a british mandate but it was part of our empire so we basically just claimed the land.

Boundaries of conquered lands had, and have been redrawn over the centuries. Just as it was done in Europe, and the middle east after both wars and beyond.
Right or wrong. That's how it's always been done even further back in time to the different kingdoms. Those who are conquered have no say in the matter.
Besides that, if they land belonged to Jews for the however many years prior to the Muslims throwing THEM out, then too fucking bad. We can call it the spoils of war, or sweet justice.
On another note, the British offered to make Palestine a two state solution back the the inception of Isreal, but the Arabs wouldn't have it. So that proposal was put on the sidelines.
The Arabs wanted to gamble, rolled the dice and they lost. They should have taken the two state solution back then. They then attacked Israel and lost even more of their lands. Which they want back, and Israel is keeping. Again, spoils of war.
Don't blame the Jews, and west for all the errors of the Muslims. They dug their own hole siding with the Germans.
