It seems you have some bizarre counterfactual notions about all this.

David Ben Gurion declared the establishment of Israel *after* the UN ratified the partition plan, giving one of the partitions to the Jewish people. Israel didn't claim any of the land outside its legal partition until after the Arabs attacked it and tried to destroy it. Miraculously, Israel was victorious, and proceeded to make the nearly unworkable partition into a mostly viable territory.

I know by now your distorted views about the connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. I don't share them. Neither does anyone else who isn't rabidly anti-Israel. If you don't understand this by now, clearly you won't change your mind no matter what I write.

You seem to have fallen prey to a false narrative and are unwilling or unable to admit it. Therefore, there's no point in my continuing to try and educate you about it.
