Before the San Remo conference there did not exist a single Arab independent nation state. Not one. All 22 Arab states that exist today (as part of the Arab League) became nation states either as a direct result of the San Remo conference, or much later. Therefore, the legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state is exactly equal to or greater than the legitimacy of any of the Arab nation states.
TRUTH BE TOLD
Here is one brave Arabs who defend Israel, tell the truth and
confront the lies and the terror of their Arab brethren.
Ex-Terrorist Shocks Israeli Teenagers with the Truth About the
Two-State Solution

This Arab Muslim lecturer once was a terrorist who tried to kill
Israelis and IDF soldiers. He feels he was blessed because he was stopped
before he blew himself up as a suicide bomber and instead arrested and jailed
in Israel. This saved his life!
Jail time was good for him, since he concluded that he did not want
to sacrifice his life for a cause that didn’t care about him, so he stopped
being a terrorist and was then tortured by the Palestinian Authority secret
services who thought that he was a traitor.
Subsequently, he escaped to Israel and today lives as an Israeli
citizen in the Israeli city of Haifa.
He now dedicates his life to trying to stop Arab Muslims from
wanting to kill Jews. He also lectures to Jewish audiences trying to
convince them that the left which supports the two-state solution is the problem,
not the solution.
The
video here is from a lecture to High School students where he was
explaining that voting for the leftwing parties that support a two-state
solution is bad, and hence they must only vote for the right-wing parties that
are against the two-state solution. It would be a disaster to establish a
country for people with a culture of murder and bloodshed, (who) educate them
(their people) for generations that Jews should become food for fish.
Under no circumstances is a Palestinian state (to be)
established.
While it's correct that Israel's legitimacy was established at San Remo it's stretching credibility to assert the Arab states did not oppose the creation of a Jewish state. Although in 1919, Emir Feisal agreed to a Jewish State he did a volte-face in 1920 after being ejected from Syria by the French. Notwithstanding the Feisa/Weizmann agreement, opposition to a Jewish state was prevalent throughout the region.

In a meeting in Istanbul on August 12, 1918, Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha gave Leopold Perlmutter, a German Jewish businessman and a personal acquaintance, an official statement on behalf of the Ottoman government. Formulated during a month-long negotiation with a 16-member Jewish delegation, headed by Perlmutter and comprising Zionists and non-Zionists from Germany, Austria, and the Ottoman Empire, the statement acknowledged the Jewish right to national and religious revival in Palestine.

The Council of Ministers has just decided, following my statements to the Jewish delegation, to lift all restrictive measures on Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine. Strict orders have been given to the relevant authorities to ensure a benevolent treatment of the Jewish nation in Palestine based on complete equality with the other elements of the population.
