Israel was not awarded by Britain and the USA, you are speaking from ideology without any consideration for history.
The UN took over the mandates from the league of nations and voted for the creation of the State of Israel with over 2/3 of the vote.
Both the USA and the Soviet Union voted for the creation. Britain abstained.
