@JoeBruno,
Palestinian Arab falsehood-propaganda alleges the Jews/Israel expelled the Palestinian Arabs in 1948, yet while providing zero objective historical evidence that any refugees were forced to leave the country. Further, there was no such policy by the Israelis and there is therefore no objective historical evidence of any such policy. In 1948 the Israelis gave Arabs citizenship of Israel and there are Arab lawmakers.
Even Israeli evacuation orders, issued to protect Arab civilians in time of war, moved those civilians from one town in the land to another town within the land.
Example -the village of Irqit:
While some of its evacuees are said to have gone to Lebanon, most of them were evacuated to Rame within the land of Israel.
There is no evidence that any Arabs evacuated from towns under such orders, were additionally “forced” from / expelled from the country.
False-allegations against Israel of:
Ethnic-cleansing / eviction / expulsion / intentional-displacement,
and “Nakba” (see further below),
all constitute “reverse-fact” propaganda, because the civil war commenced by the Palestinian Arabs that intensified 1947 to 1948 was not only to oppose the United Nations Partition Plan under resolution 181 (an attempt at a “two state solution”) and instead to take ALL the land of Israel, but was intended to ethnically-cleanse or murder the Jews from the Jews ancestral homeland of Israel.
In 1948 the Arab countries invaded and attacked the newly Re-established State of Israel with the same objectives as the “Palestinian” Arabs, but the Arabs lost the war.
Jordan then illegally-occupied Judah and Samaria ("West Bank") and also illegally-occupied East Jerusalem from which the Jordanians expelled the Jews.
Egypt illegally-occupied the Gaza strip.
The 1948 war caused consequential refugees where the Palestinian Arabs left with the intention to return once the Jews had been as they assumed, murdered or expelled.
Jews were expelled by the Palestinian Arabs and by the invading Arab countries, as policy.
For example, when currently the Media refer to “Arab East Jerusalem”, it typically fails to mention that the Jews were expelled from East Jerusalem (the “Old City”) by the Jordanians in 1948.
Further, expelling the Jews from (East) Jerusalem and attempting to rename it “Al Quds” does not amount to any valid Arab claim on Jerusalem:

Palestinian Arab propaganda falsely-alleges the Re-establishment of Israel caused: a “great injustice” / “nakba” (“catastrophe” / “disaster”) to the Palestinian Arabs.
In reality:
> The Palestinian Arabs violently rejected the Arab state of the United Nations Partition Plan (see above);
> Jordan and Egypt illegally-occupied the land proposed for an Arab state under the U.N. Partition Plan (approximating to Judah and Samaria (“West Bank”) and Gaza);
> BOTH Arabs and Jews, became war-refugees;
> The Palestinian Arabs claim falsely with no evidence of any such policy that they were expelled from the land; Jews were indeed expelled by the Arabs as policy.
> Palestinian Arabs live and work in Israel.
Therefore the reader is entitled to be skeptical about Palestinian Arab propaganda alleging a fantasy-injustice.
Israel is often accused of being in breach of anti-Israel resolutions passed by the “halo-reputation” United Nations:
The Palestinian Arabs start-off in U.N. votes by enjoying a block-vote in their favor of up to 56 Arab and additional Islamic-aligned countries (e.g. U.N. member states that are also members of the “Organization of Islamic Cooperation” and follow its policies when voting in the U.N.), and the influence of Arab oil money with consequential trading power; compared to Israel's one vote.
The U.N and “European Union” (which copies U.N. polices against Israel) are both fully-complicit with Palestinian Arab propaganda, by refusing to recognize the land of Israel as the ancestral-homeland of the Jewish people. (Jew=citizen of Judah - Judaism is both an ethnicity as well as a religion). Both the U.N and E.U. falsely-treat the Jewish people as “invaders”, and so also as “thieves” and “illegal-occupiers” of the Jews OWN ancestral-homeland (land of the prior Jewish kingdoms of Judah / Israel), and therefore consequently of building “illegal-settlements” there, with Palestinian Arab terrorism considered “resistance to occupation”.
The Palestinian Arabs obtained an artificial, unique, and arguably by common-sense a bogus refugee status, that passes through the generations, from the Arab-dominated United Nations (see above), a device to inflate the number of alleged-refugees for bundling with their false-claim for a “right of return":

Israel is Re-established within the Jewish ancestral homeland. Internationally-recognised history shows that the last indigenous sovereign state in the land of Israel (Roman-imposed name “Palestine”), prior to the RE-establishment of Israel in 1948, was the post-Biblical Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom. It included Judah and Samaria ("West Bank"), Gaza, and Golan Heights. Capital (what is now East) Jerusalem / “Old City”; between 110 BCE / 754 BH and 63 BCE / 706 BH - Map:

Palestinian Arab propaganda false-complaints to the Media and NGOs, of:
“Racism” / “persecution” / “discrimination” / “oppression”/ “(mis) treatment” / “being treated as 2nd class”, in reality is Palestinian Arab frustration at Israeli security measures for reducing Jewish casualties resulting from the Palestinian Arab anti-Jewish war of ethnic-hatred, where the Israeli Jewish civilians are targeted as policy including children (see below):
Here are two examples from the Palestinian Arab on-going anti-Jewish hate-war, where their propaganda typically refers to any consequential security measures as “Israeli-oppression”.
