Among others factors, the creation of Pakistan was used to "justify" the creation of Israel. It was not the main reason behind creation of Israel ofcourse.
The idea was basically the same. Jewish majority regions should be partitioned of from Palestine. This is why the 1948 resolution is also called the partition plan.
The British supported the creation of Muslim majority Pakistan saying ostensibly this is to preserve their(Indian muslims') interests and a jewish majority Israel to preserve their(jews) interests.
This is documented in UN debates as well as internal memos that recommended the creation of Pakistan to the British govt. including by Churchill who was a supporter of creation of both Pakistan and Israel.
No, the Zionists had their sights on all of Palestine from the very beginning. They wanted the ancient state of Israel resurrected.
At the time of the Balfour Declaration, when Britain formalized its support for a Jewish state in Palestine, the Jews numbered 3% of the population. The Balfour Declaration promised the land to 3% of the population and assured that the rights of the non-Jewish population (97%!!) would be protected in the proposed Jewish state.
Then began the program of Jewish migration to Palestinte to enhance their numbers. In fact the Brits were considered too slow with the migration, which is why Jewish terrorists like the Irgun gang bombed British officials and their families.
