Yes, the poor Arabs of Palestine became refugees. They were not alone. Also on the refugee list of the late forties were: 3 million Sudeten Germans 2 million East Prussians 7 million Pakistani Hindus 7 million Indian Muslims 400,000 European Holocaust Survivors 700,000 Jews from the Arab lands Seen against that list, 700,000 Arabs from Palestine is but one more entry on the list, not a big one at that. The difference that counts is that of all those entries, only one one group are still "refugees" today, together with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. All the others were resettled and got on with their lives as best they could. I'll leave you to pick out the reasons for that.
