Mark is not interested in knowing the truth or the facts. His tiny mind has been warped beyond repair. 

Some Palestinians fled as ordered by the Arab states. Others stayed put. Some of those who stayed became citizens of Israel, others were driven off by Israelis and other fighting. Israel captured what was most strategically important to them at the time. There was no Palestinian government nor army to claim the part of Palisrael they were given on the UN map. 


The Israelis were well armed with weapons that had been captured by the allies after WWII ended. The Palestinians were mostly unarmed. James Michener's novel Exodus does a good job of explaining what happened, but there are better histories that are more concise.
