So they live there but have on rights. That's why Statehood was considered important.
The British were the land lords and the rest were just tenets, The British acknowledged that there was a prominent Jewish population already there and that both have claims to the land going back over 2k years. Which is why they tried to do 2 states and give both ownership rights to their land and let them co-exist. 

No. I'm not "forgetting" anything.  The British were not "granted" the land.  Who would have the authority to do that?  
Where are you getting this? Not from the Britannica.  Your link is about the UN partition in '47.

GB awarded themselves control of the southern part of the Ottoman Empire in a treaty with France in 1917;
the League of Nation recognized their de facto control of the land in 1922--to administer it until it could become an independent nation.

In 1917 the British also announced support of a Jewish "homeland, " not a state, in Palestine, not all of Palestine. 

This would become the impetus for a European colonial power facilitating the settling of European Jews in Palestine--without asking
what the people who actually lived there thought. (For which the British later apologized.)

Even your Jewish virtual library recognizes that Jews were only 8.1% of the total population in 1918, right after the declaration.

So what's happening here is that you keep presenting factually inverted information, which I continually refute, while claiming details  and "nit-picking" don't matter,and declaring an end to the discussion because I have "made up my mind."
