The Israelis accepted the partition but the Arabs didn't.

The Arabs made war instead, lost, and so Israel won the land by force of arms, same as the vast majority of states.

why should the arabs have accepted the partition? what was the rationale behind the partition, who made the decision and what right did they have to make such a decision, what was the justification for a zionist state to begin with?

the arabs made war after the zionists started the nakba, if zionists weren't so aggressive the arab states likely wouldn't have sent any soldiers to fight, just taken economic and diplomatic measures.
