Israel did not kick the Palestinians out of present day Israel.


Quite right. The Jews forced no Arabs off their land. Many Arabs, those
that are referred to as Palestinians, abandoned their land at the behest of
their fellow Arabs in Jordan, Syria, etc. They were to leave while the Arab
states drove the Jews into the sea, then the Arabs would return and have all
of the land. Israel would not exist. But the Arabs lost the war, and those
that had abandoned their land within the new state of Israel were now
homeless. The Arabs that didn't abandon their land are now citizens of
Israel. They vote, hold seats in the Knesset, and have the highest standard
of living among any Arabs in the world. Other than the relative few that
control large quantities of oil, of course.
