Are you saying that my post is not true?I fail to see how this relates to my post.You see once we pass the 100 year barrier, things begin to look messy for the Arabs, it's a matter of context.There are some misleading things about the creation of Israel. One of the things that is always mentioned is resolution 181. Israel briefly mentions it in its Declaration of independence. It is regularly said that Israel acquired more land than that allotted to it in the resolution among other things.No, you just have to look deeper into history than the "overview" you get from most sources.
We do, it's just that pro-Palestinians usually prefer to frame 'history' in just the last 100 years. And accept only sources that support their agenda for Arab Muslim colonialism.
The problem with all of this smoke about resolution 181 is that it did not happen. Resolution 181 recommended that the Security Council partition Palestine giving a list of things to be implemented. The Security Council did not Implement Resolution 181. It just didn't happen.
Another thing you will see regularly is a term like formerly mandated territory. This implies that the territory was not Palestine but was the territory of the mandate. This is not true. The mandate had no land. It worked inside Palestine.

Drawing up the framework of nationality, Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne stated:
“Turkish subjects habitually resident in territory which in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty is detached from Turkey will become ipso facto, in the conditions laid down by the local law, nationals of the State to which such territory is transferred.”
Mandates were not states. They were temporarily assigned administrations.
There is more than that when you look at the actual history.
The massacres in Hebron, Sefad, Tiberias, Jerusalem...
Battle of Hebron - Wikipedia
1834 looting of Safed - Wikipedia
1838 Druze attack on Safed - Wikipedia
All this legalese...laws can be interpreted in many ways.
Your post was the usual Arab colonialist talking points.
If You step outside Your comfort zone and actually look a the lives of the minorities under Arab Muslim rule, might actually GET IT, not just the Arab point of view, but the point of view of the indigenous minorities who deserve self determination in their land, free from Your European hypocrisy.
History goes far beyond the 100 years. Be honest.
