"Rising up like a wave/swarm" I believe is the language used there. Everyone needs to be joining together to use force en masse, and that's not what happened here.
Have you read at all about how the early yishuv was defended against the Arabs? (btw, Arabs were a majority in the land at that time as well).
And I would also point out that were it not for the Jewish Underground, which really wasn't as small as you suggest, because often their operations were aided, abetted, designed with and participated in by the Haganah even though after the fact the Haganah and erev rav dictators tried to pin it all on the scapegoat revisionist factions (whom they helped at times for certain bombings), were it not for this underground, the British would NEVER have left, and the British even admit that.
There's no question there was a small underground movement that used force and that applied political pressure to the British but in the end the British and the U.N. etc. AGREED to give it to us.
It was only the violence that led to the British even consulting the UN in the first place. And they were secretly hoping the UN would refer it back to them who could then stay there indefinitely. Look up Earnest Bevin. This stuff is documented. Political considerations led to the decision to consult the UN, but it was the violence that necessitated any action on the matter in the first place. But the UN then said there should be a UN committee to decide on it.... and eventually the UN resolution.
(Also keep in mind, that while Israel certainly had the better arguments - there was like a 7 point summary by Israel in favor, with 7 point response by Arabs in opposition to the resolution - all the Arab points were full of lies and half truths and were just rationalizations for jihad quite obviously, while the Israel claims were historically accurate and made sense, this can be found in "genesis 1948 by Dan Kurzman" and I'm sure other works as well - despite having better arguments, it took serious bribery, espionage and other political intrigue to get the votes the way Israel did!)
I don't think it is beneath mentioning that it's absurd that the Jewish nation would be bound by gentile law (A UN resolution? Please!) rather than Jewish Torah law.
The british wanted to keep their empire. The Balfour Declaration many years earlier was an empty promise and complete deception. This is documented and evidence reflects it. Consider for instance: "transjordan" to the hashemites.
I think there is just no escaping the fact that violence is what led to our success in Israel. It was just violence. You seem to suggest that if it was the violence as the main factor, then according to the 3 oaths, it wasn't just?
