Israel was founded in 1948, when a lot of modern laws and treaties were created. So no, they don't actually have a right to colonize Palestine and occupy other territory (it's why they returned the Sinai to Egypt after all).

Europeans arrived in the American continent long before there was a United Nations, and it was considered normal to still be allowed to conquer territory.
