Arabs lost their legitimacy when they resorted to force (repeatedly) and lost badly (repeatedly). If you want to play "might makes right", then accept the consequences.
The Israelis were the ones who resorted to force, the Arabs only used force to defend their lands.
That's questionable, considering the Arabs where the ones that didn't accept the partition plan. And, as controversial as the plan itself might be, you just can't deny the fact that by then there were already many Jews living in British Palestine who also had the right to their land.
Side note, I'm using the word Arabs instead of Palestinians to denote the intervention of foreign Arab-majority countries, not to deny the existance of Palestinians as a group.
