First of all, Israel was given to the Jewish RACE not faith. For some reason, a lot of Americans r ignorant to the fact that Jewish is also a race not just a religion.
I happen to be a Christian jew female with rights to own property in Israel if I so desired because my grandmother was a holocaust survivor.
With that said, my answer to your question is NO.
Yes, I said NO. If you research Britains participation from around 1930 until the creation of Israel in 1947, you will see that they had an imperalistic reason that I do not agree with.
The problem is that it is done now. What I don't get is why the 'world' won't let the palestines have a state. I truly believe that would resolve 90% of that region's controversy.

_We_ didn't do any such thing. Jewish people settled in Palestine on land they purchased from local Arab emirs. The Palestinians started wondering how Jewish settlers were turning desert into farmland, drinking running water, building schools, etc. Their leaders, not wanting to have to provide such infrastructure, chose to tell the Palestinians that the Jews stole the land. When the British mandate of Palestine ran out in 1947 the U.N. proposed a partition of Palestine into two countries, Israel getting 55% and Palestine getting 45%. The Jews accepted, the Arabs chose to go to war. Now Palestinian lands make up much much less of the former Palestine Mandate than 45%, but the Palestinians only have themselves (and their Arab neighbors) to blame.

Who evicted Palestinians to give it to Israel? Learn some history before you ask ridiculous questions.
First of all, there was no Palestinian people until after the creation of Israel. "Palestine" was a part of southern Syria.
Second very few of the indigenous population of Arabs were "evicted" by Israelis. Most of them left at the urging of their leaders who said to leave so we can kill the Jews, then you can go back and take their stuff. The only known "eviction" was a small settlement of Arabs who lived near the Burma Pass, (strategically the most important place in 1948 Israel.)

I've reported menifeedave for her comments. As to whether it was right to evict Palenstinians and hand over Israel as compensation to the Jewish faith. That is a difficult question to answer. It depends on your perspective. If you sympathize with the Jewish religion, and the persecution its adherants have suffered over the centuries are are going to be more inclined to believe that the land belongs to them and that the Palenstinians are the bad guys. If are more sympathetic towards a people who lived in an area for many years, and whose families can be traced back hundreds and thousands of years you may be more willing to say that it was not right to evict the Palenstinians and hand over Israel as compensation for what happened to the Jews. I think it's important to keep in mind that it's not likely to change. Israel belongs to the Jews now and the Palenstinian people need to realize that fighting that battle is a losing battle and that it will be them who in the end will be destroyed.

Get a clue and stop watching the talking heads on TV.
In early 1800s there were about 70% Jewish living in the land now call Israel.
The preamble to the League of Nations document that establishes the British Mandate for the territory of Palestine states the purposes as follows:
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty [the Balfour Declaration], and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country; and
Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;
Article 6 further states:
The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.
By this document, the British government was made responsible for the territory known as Palestine for the specific purpose of facilitating Jewish immigration, settlement, and the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people". While it is noted that the "civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" shall not be prejudiced by the purpose of the Mandate, the clear intent was to go forward with the Zionist program of Jewish immigration and settlement.
