The British restricted Jewish, particularly Zionist, immigration to Palestine towards the end of the Mandate. And abstained from voting for the creation of the partition at the UN.

Yea, they say they restricted the Jewish immigrants. Yet, if you read the article posted in my other comment, you'd see that their actions during the time period of their mandate speaks a different tale.

Them abstaining from the vote is purely performative, and doesn't negate the rest of what they did to facilitate the colonization of Palestine.
