chained2it ....because you are confusing "cause" and "effect".
Google it.
The easiest way to muddle up history is confusing cause and effect.
The current situation is an EFFECT of past actions, which started following WW1. Before that, the political conditions in the Levant /ME did NOT effect the world at large.
Irrelevant of whether YOU personally considered it "right" or "wrong", it did NOT effect world politics.
Constant western meddling has turned it into the situation we now witness.
In 1919, floods of immigrants and refugees arrived, following an ancient myth, ideologically indoctrinated to think that they already owned the land. They were WHITE immigrants, and foreigners (passport holders i.e. nationality). They arrived in hordes and started displacing and politically disenfranchising the people who ALREADY LIVED there.
These locals were not stupid. They had seen what happened for 500 years when "white man with forked tongue" arrived somewhere, suggesting a...cough, cough..."mutually acceptable deal"..
Of COURSE they had the right to fight back.
Do you think they wanted to end up like the Hawaiins, the Aborigines, the Native Americans, the Mayas or Incas?
Today, the land grabbing continues.
It will also never stop, because a certain fraction of Jews believe that their "god" gave them ALL the land between the Nile and the Euphrat, and the only way to achieve that is in the condition of constant duress, strife, or war.
THAT is "the cause", which started by grabbing "a little bit of Palestine" in 1919...

Dan Morgan Yes, that is correct.
One could also state that it was one of the first successful attempts at stopping colonial expansion -- "nipping it in the bud", so to speak.
Of course, times had changed since 1919/1948.
Who knows. If it hadn't been for the Cold War, "Israel" today could have spanned from the Nile to the Euphrat.
After WW2, the Cold War started, and the two Alpha males in the ME were now the USA and the SU. The two previous Alpha males (France, British Empire) had to take a back seat.
At this stage, the USA was not willing to risk a world war as a result of Israeli hawks expanding their borders. Today, with Trump/Pence...not so sure.
The area is extremely volatile. The balance of power which had been in place for 50 years is beginning to erode due to the various wars, civil wars, wars of proxy in the region.
Israel is forging an alliance with the Saudis, directed at Iran.
If there is going to be a spark, the whole region will blow up.
In such a chaotic mess as war, the "Eretz Israel"- dreamers might seek to expand Israel's borders at the expense of one of her neighbors (like we saw in Europe after WW2).
