Nobody and no organization "gave" the Jewish people a Jewish State aside from Zionists who built the infrastructure and mechanisms for their State.
British Contribution
The first international support of the Zionist enterprise was the Balfour Declaration in 1917 which expressed British intentions to realize a Jewish State in the Middle East. In 1919, the British and the League of Nations created the Mandate of Palestine which would provide for the preparation of a Jewish State in part of the Mandate. It is important to note that the British Mandate would only facilitate the creation of a Jewish State, but would not support its actual creation.
UN Contribution
Most people incorrectly believe that UN Resolution 181 in 1947 "created" a Jewish State (Israel) and an Arab State (Palestine) on the map. This is not the case. What the UN Resolution does provide for is the permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of a Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of their being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace.
Zionist Leaders
The Zionist leadership was ardently secularist with one or two critical exceptions. These leaders included Theodor Herzl (who developed the concept of Modern Jewish Nationalism or Zionism), Eliezer ben Yehuda (who developed the Modern Hebrew Language), Ze'ev Jabotinsky (Jewish Advocate to the British and Leader of the Palmach), Menachem Begin (Leader of the Irgun and future Israeli Prime Minister), and the Halutzim in general (the Jewish pioneers who arrived in the British Mandate of Palestine in the 1920s and 1930s). On the religious side, there was primarily Rabbi Avraham Kook (First Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Israel and founder of Religious Zionism) who was treading a new theological doctrine to back up Zionism with Jewish religious values
The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel.

Why do Jews refure to israel as the promised land?

What area do the Arabs own in Israel?
It depends on who you mean by "the Arabs". If you are referring to Arab citizens of any state, even Israel, then most Arab land-holdings are in the Galilee region in the north of Israel, although there is a significant Arab population with land-holdings in Haifa, Acre, and Jerusalem. If you are referring to Arab governments, the Arabs own no territory in the State of Israel. Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority controls parts of the West Bank, neither of which are in sovereign Israeli territory.
