Jews had lived peacefully in Palestine for centuries, and even settlement of new Jews from Europe went relatively well before Balfour declaration of 1917 led to assumption (and private acceptance by British politicians) of a new Zionist state as soon as the population figures allowed. Which led to Zionist terrorism.

This while Britain was given the mandate to develop Palestinian sovereignty.

That UK eventually didn't vote doesn't matter.
