Also indulged in one of my unwise habits by randomly perusing a collection of primary documents I don't have all the context to understand. It can be dangerous because you can easily misunderstand or misconstrue. Searched the UN documents archive for items relating to Palestine or Israel with the word "colonize". (Quality of the OCR is mid.) Here is the earliest hit:
UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PALESTINE. VOLUME 4 : REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY : ANNEX B : ORAL EVIDENCE PRESENTED AT PRIVATE MEETINGS - A/364/ADD.3 dated 01/01/1947. Original is linked in the top right corner as a zip archive containing various languages.

green highlighting is stuff most directly relevant to your questions (as I interpreted them) while yellow is just what I thought was interesting for my own reasons.

I find it interesting going back to 1947 and seeing how everything that created the present situation was already in place. I've looked at other UN committee or assembly docs from mid-century. Even though they were created for specific contemporary situations, they're pretty much legible and you see the consistent threads running through them.
