The population that lived in the "Jewish" section of Palestine under the 1947 partition was 55% Jewish and 45% Arab.

I do not believe that the 45% of Arabs had the right to impose their identity on 55% of Jews, or vice versa. Self-determination, broadly, means the right to be governed by a representative government. It does not mean that people have a right to live in an ethnocracy.

In relation to your question, I believe that the Jewish people had exactly the same rights as their Arab counterparts.
