That website seems like a wonderful source opinion. I wouldn't go to it for information. For one thing according to the UN, who you say gave away the land, there was and still is a Palestine. Masada2000.org's editors seem to be halucinating their information.

Here is a
UN History of Palestine I'm sure it is a better source for information about UN declarations.

Bad news for your argument. According to the UN, whose document you reference, Israel, Jordan and Egypt "took it (Palestine) by force. And expelled over drove away more than half of the population. Do you thing that is what that "right of return" stuff refers to?

        

After looking at various alternatives, the UN proposed the partitioning of Palestine into two independent States, one Palestinian Arab and the other Jewish, with Jerusalem internationalized (Resolution 181 (II) of 1947). One of the two States envisaged in the partition plan proclaimed its independence as Israel and in the 1948 war expanded to occupy 77 per cent of the territory of Palestine. Israel also occupied the larger part of Jerusalem. Over half the indigenous Palestinian population fled or were expelled. Jordan and Egypt occupied the other parts of the territory assigned by the partition resolution to the Palestinian Arab State which did not come into being.
