It was Western powers that "gave" land that didn't belong to them, and where other people already lived (and, of course, continue to support Israel). The Israeli government is not the only responsible party here.

It was the UN dividing the land between 1/3 jews and 2/3 muslims who were living there. It got voted 33-13 with most muslim countries voting against and 10 countries including Britain abstaining.
