While the Re-establishment of Israel (see prior Jewish sovereign states below) was an act of Justice to the Jewish people, re-established within their ancestral homeland of Israel, there was no injustice done to the “Palestinian” Arabs for the reasons explained below. Since then, “Palestinian” Arab propaganda has been successful in deceiving people about a fantasy-injustice or “Nakba” (“catastrophe” / “disaster”).
Israel was Re-established in 1948 following a United Nations Partition Plan (aka two-state solution) under resolution 181, which had sought to set up two states, one Jewish and one Arab.
The then Palestinian Jewish Community had accepted the U.N. Partition Plan, but it requires more than one party to constitute an agreement. The “Palestinian” Arab response was in 1947 to start a civil war and terror to oppose the U.N. Partition Plan, instead take ALL the land of Israel, and ethnically-cleanse or murder the Jewish population from the Jews ancestral homeland of Israel:

In 1948 the Arab countries attacked the newly Re-established State of Israel, but the Arabs lost the war. Jordan then illegally-occupied the "West Bank", and also illegally-occupied East Jerusalem from which the Jordanians expelled the Jews. Egypt illegally-occupied the Gaza strip.
Jordanian illegal-occupation of the "West Bank" and East Jerusalem:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordanian_..._West_Bank
Egyptian illegal-occupation of Gaza:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation...p_by_Egypt
“Palestinian” Arab propaganda falsely-alleges the Re-establishment of Israel caused: a “great injustice” / “nakba” (“catastrophe” / “disaster”) to the “Palestinian” Arabs.
In reality:
> The “Palestinian” Arabs violently rejected the Arab state of the United Nations Partition Plan (see above);
> Jordan and Egypt occupied the land proposed for an Arab state under the U.N. Partition Plan (approximating to the "West Bank" and Gaza);
> BOTH Arabs and Jews, became war-refugees;
> The Palestinians claim falsely with no evidence of any such policy that they were expelled from the land; Jews were indeed expelled by the Arabs as policy.
> “Palestinian” Arabs live and work in Israel.
Therefore the reader is entitled to be sceptical about “Palestinian” Arab propaganda alleging a fantasy-injustice.
Since the “Palestinian” Arabs mostly originate from Arabs who arrived in the land of Israel as Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers just prior to, and during the British Mandate, they arrived in the land well after its indigenous Jews; which makes the Arabs the “settler-colonists”, not the Jews.
Evacuation orders specific to some towns falsely-purported as evidence of expulsion from the land:
The reason why people may get an impression of expulsion of Arabs is because in order to avoid civilian casualties in conflict-areas, there were some limited Israeli evacuation orders for specific towns but, this removed Arabs to other towns WITHIN the land; they were NOT expelled from the land.
Example: village of Irqit:
While some of its evacuees are said to have gone Lebanon most of them were evacuated to Rame (within the land of Israel).
There is no evidence that any Arabs evacuated from towns under such orders, were additionally “forced” from / expelled from the country.
While refugees are a sad characteristic of any war, the Arabs did not need to attack the newly re-established Israel in 1948 with the intention to ethnically-cleanse or murder the Jews (source above). “Palestinian” Arabs live and work in Israel, some of whom have taken out Israeli citizenship, but most refuse it because they falsely-claim ALL the land of Israel.
Some “Palestinian” Arabs have Israeli citizenship, while most refuse it because they refuse the right of the Jewish people to re-establish their state in the Jewish people’s ancestral homeland of Israel.
Some Arab refugees had owned land / homes in the land of Israel, but land / home ownership does not of itself amount to proof of entitlement to the sovereignty of the country in which a community lives.
The false-allegations against Israel of ethnic-cleansing / eviction / expulsion / intentional-displacement, is “reverse-fact” propaganda, because the civil war commenced by the Arabs, which intensified during 1947 to 1948, was the Arab war not only to oppose the United Nations Partition Plan and instead take ALL the land of Israel, but also to ethnically-cleanse or murder the Jewish population from the Jews ancestral homeland of Israel.

By comparison there is no evidence of any policy by the Jews to ethnically-cleanse the “Palestinian” Arabs.
Examples of expulsion of Jews leading up to the Re-establishment of Israel:
Let us also not forget that when the News Media refers to “Arab East Jerusalem”, it also typically fails to mention that the Jews were expelled from East Jerusalem (the “Old City”) by the Jordanians in 1948:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamizati...occupation
Jews expelled within Mandate Palestine up to War of Independence:

The “Palestinian” Arabs falsely-allege Israeli Jews all came from Europe. Some Jews are returnee-exiles, since the Jewish people have Judah heritage (“Jew”=citizen of “Judah” - Judaism is both an ethnicity as well as a religion). Yet the Jewish people are indigenous to their ancestral homeland of Israel, with unbroken presence there from Biblical times:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographi...e_(region)
The last indigenous sovereign state (in the land on which the name “Palestine” was imposed by Roman-occupiers), prior to the RE-establishment of Israel in 1948, was the post-Biblical Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom. It included the "West Bank", Gaza, and Golan Heights. Its capital was (what is now East) Jerusalem; between 110 BCE / 754 BH and 63 BCE / 706 BH:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasmonean_dynasty
Israeli sources might consider ceasing to use the term “created” in regard to the Re-establishment of Israel in 1948, since for non-Israelis the term “created” fails make the essential-connection with previous Jewish sovereign states in the land of Israel and thus of the Jewish people’s roots there.
Who were the Arabs living in British “Palestine” Mandate administered Israel?
There has never been an indigenous “Palestine” / Arab sovereign state in the land of Israel upon which the “Palestinian” Arabs could base any claim to any part of Israel.
Following the Ottoman Turkish defeat in the First World War, the League of Nations in 1922 resurrecting the name “Palestine” from Roman occupation, authorized a British Mandate; an administrative region ruled by a foreign imperial power, it was an area that later would be today’s: Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian Territories - Please compare the second and third maps down, at:
https://shamrak.com/Masada2000-HistoryofPalestine.htm
JEWISH citizens of the British Mandate were Palestinian: Irrespective of race or religion citizens of the British Mandate became: “Palestinian”.
Extracts from five British “Government of Palestine” passports,
from which it can be seen that JEWISH citizens of the Mandate were “Palestinian”:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/p6hjhurn7...s.pdf/file
The Media of the time referred to Mandate inhabitants, as:
“Palestinian Arabs”, / “Palestinian Jews”, or as: “Arabs” / “Jews”.
The prior Ottoman Turkish empire did not use any such political name as “Palestine”, but rather Ottoman-occupied Judah / Israel was within the Ottoman province of “Syria”.
The “Palestinian Arabs” dropped the name “Arab” so you should not understand they mostly originate from Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers who came to the land of Israel just prior to, and during the British Mandate, to take advantage of higher wages through Jewish returnee-exiles:

The “Palestinian” Arabs having considered themselves to be Arab only, this is why they were opposed to being called a “People” until the 1960’s, when they decided it fitted with their intention to steal the land of Israel from its indigenous Jews:

Referring to the Bible where it talks about the Jewish people being given the land of Canaan by Allah / God, the noble Quran recognizes that the Land of Israel is given by Allah / God to the Jewish people, saying:

The context from which the extract from the Quran is taken supports that recognition (for example, the previous verse 20 mentions Moses); and if someone alleges that it does not, then the reader should expect them to be able to explain that !
While Israel is a multicultural country with diverse ethnicities and religions, it is also indeed a home for the Jewish people Re-established within the Jewish ancestral homeland; something for which the Jewish people have no need to apologize - to anyone !
