aris2chat, Phoenall, P F Tinmore, et al,
Yes, the modern establishment (20th Century) of "Palestine" was arbitarily set by the allied powers pursuant to the Part III, Section VII, Treaty of Sevres (1920) (Article 95), "within such boundaries as may be determined by the Principal Allied Powers."
(COMMENT)How many more times does it have to be proven to you that palestines borders were those that included Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. They were defined as such so that the LoN mandates ( note more than one mandate ) could allocate LoN land to the above nations to create them inside Palestine. They did the same with the NATIONAL HOME OF THE JEWS after taking 70% of the original allocation away to placate two arab princes. This led to the arabs realising the LoN was weakened and immediately started to attack the British and the Jews . This led to many Islamic terrorist attacks and finally the Jewish terrorist attacks on valid military targets.
The LoN won the land at the end of WW1 and it was theirs to do with as they wanted, read the relevant treaty assigning the sovereignty of the land to the LoN and how the ottomans were left with a tiny portion of their vast empire. The Palestine you know is but a small part of the ancient Palestine that existed before the muslims were invented by the false prophet.
After WWI and WWII, most of the world was redrawn. The maps were vastly changed. No different than dividing up the remains of the Ottoman empire. Israel is no more artificial that any other country that was changed or created during that time. Even now the maps are in flux. Global nations have never really been static.
Time people come to the realization that Israel exists and then decide how to accept and move forward from that point in a way to benefit both/all sides.
The disposition of the territory was at the discretion of the Allied Powers.
Yes, I agree! It is an old argument in which the Arab of the region felt slighted. But it is time to move on and develop a measure of regional stability.
(COMMENT)
Given the handy work in self-governance and self-determination of both the Arab regionally and the Arab localized to Palestine, it will probably take another century for them to acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be successful. These former holdings of the Ottoman Empire have been in constant turmoil and distress ever since they were liberated out from under sovereign Ottoman control. There is no reason to assume that they can achieve peacefulness and civility in the modern age.
I cannot imagine how they see any honor heritage in what they do.

Jordan, Syria and Iraq were the result of the Hussein's loosing Mecca to the Sauds.
The creation of Israel was no different.
And.......it changes yet again
ISIS declares creation of new Islamic state with own headman as supreme leader
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, an Al Qaeda break-away organization, declared Sunday the creation of a new 'caliphate' — an Islamic state led by one religious and political leader, or 'caliph' — that covers 600 miles in Iraq and Syria. The Sunni Muslim militant organization named its own leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the caliph.
