And still are. Arab Muslims make up about 20% of Israel's population. Unlike other middle eastern countries whose Jewish population is close enough to zero - thanks to the efforts of Muslims inspired by Hitler's holocaust. Those Arab Muslims who chose to stay in Israel have more rights and freedoms, and more say in the governance of the country, than in any other middle eastern or north african country.
What point are you trying to make, BTW?
Given you're willfully ignorant of Israel's modern history, it's not surprising you'd miss the point.
Palestinian Jewish leaders (as pre-Israelis) did everything they could to remove those who were, Ben Gurion's, 'strangers in our land' in preparation for the declaration of the Jewish state of Israel.
They were not 100% successful, and those Arabs within Israel's provisional borders at the moment of Israel's declaration of statehood and its acknowledgement at the UN, automatically became Israeli citizens. They were not invited to stay by Palestinian Jews cum Jewish Israelis, nor were they, or have they been since, encouraged to stay.
Most Arab Israelis claim they suffer discrimination and are treated with suspicion by Jewish Israelis.
There was no Nazi-inspired Holocaust, mini or otherwise, of Jews living in Arab states, by Muslims. There was a significant migration of Middle Eastern Jews into Israel once it was declared a nation-state.
The problem reared its ugly head again when Israel illegally annexed East Jerusalem, only this time the secure Israeli state declared East Jerusalem's Arab residents as permanent residents, not as citizens, making it easier to expel them as and when deemed necessary.
