It is a right. But if your state attacks another state and loses, you are going to be occupied, tough luck, consider not attacking anyone next time.
Israel was established by consent of the legal owner of Palestine that day, British Empire, and was attacked by what you would call Palestinians today (Arabs living in former British Palestine) on the first day of existence - and never had a day of peace since then.
I in all honesty don't know what peace could look like today. It should embrace recognition of State of Israel in its borders (that's the easy part, but was never delivered from the Arab side) and realistic guarantees that it will not be attacked again (that one is hard).
They absolutely deserve their own state as soon as they make peace with Israel
Interesting. So having a state isn't a right. Or are you saying Palestinians are not people?
What does "making peace" with Israel look like? Why don't you consider the West Bank to be at peace with Israel?
Was modern Israel established by making peace with its occupants?

They were granted a state on the same day as israel.
Which day are you referring to?
I assume 14th May of 1948 when British rule over Palestine ended.
