"What really happened" is always in the eye of the beholder. Nevertheless, there are some objective facts. The UN really did partition Israel/Palestine in 1947. The state of Israel really did declare independence in 1948. The Arab nations of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan really did attack Israel immediately after the partition. Hundreds of thousands of the Palestinian civilian population really did leave their homes in Israeli territory for their own reasons, which probably varied from individual to individual. Some fled, some refused to live in a Jewish-controlled country, some left with the hope and expectation that the Arab attackers would succeed and they would be able to return soon. The other Arab nations have never allowed the Palestinian refugees to assimilate into their countries. Nevertheless, many Arabs stayed and became Israeli citizens. The way you tell the story, the Jews threw all the Arabs out summarily and forced them into concentration camps. That's one version. There are many versions.
