Jews lived in Gush Ezion, Hebron, Jerusalem, and Tiberus alongside Druze and Catholic and Coptic Christians for centuries before the British Mandate.
After, the land expert representing the Jewish Agency before the Shaw Commission of 1929 claimed that 90% of lands bought up to that time came from absentee landlords. During the 1930s the proportion fell to 80%. In the last decade of the mandate they were about 73%." Further, the British prohibition on land ownership by Jews in Palestine east of the Jordan River served to concentrate and thereby intensify the effect of land purchases by Jews in Palestine west of the Jordan River. (Abraham Granovsky, Land Policy in Palestine, (New York: Bloch Publishing Company) 1940, pp. 3, 17ff.)
Take it up with the landlords who sold the land and the Ottomans. You don't get to start a war, try to kill everyone after ethnically cleansing them from their homes throughout the Middle East, then lose and try to establish conditions for peace a 80 years later.

Fun fact: The original PLO charter in 1964 said the West Bank belongs to Jordan and Gaza belongs to Egypt. I will take your whining about occupation seriously the moment anyone starts advocating for Germany to get East Prussia back or Austria to get South Tyrol back.
