When did Israel kill and relocate millions of Palestinians?

Answer 1

The Israeli War of Independence began in 1948 after the Arab states declared war on the newly declared State of Israel. The Israelis did not kill millions of people, Wikipedia gives casualties as 6,373 killed among the Israelis, between 8,000 and 15,000 among the Arabs, including Palestinians (but also including all militant forces and armies).

As for relocation, there is a heated debate as to whether Palestinian Arabs were forcibly evicted from their homes on threats of violence at one end and were implored to leave by their religious leaders so that they could return after the Arabs were victorious on the other end. Regardless, the current estimates are that 720,000 Palestinian Arabs fled the Israeli-controlled areas of the Mandate of Palestine. It should be noted that at roughly the same time, most Arab countries had instituted strongly negative policies towards the Jews resulting in 850,000 Jews fleeing from Arab Countries between 1948-1955 and leaving almost every Arab country with only a marginal Jewish population if any.

Other important facts to consider, when you talk about killing and relocating:

As of 2008, Arab citizens of Israel comprised just over 20 percent of the country's total population. About 82.6 percent of the Arab population in Israel is Sunni Muslim (with a very small minority of Shia), another 9 percent is Druze, and around 9 percent is Christian Arab. The Arab Muslim citizens of Israel include the Bedouins, who are divided into two main groups: the Bedouin in the north of Israel, who live in villages and towns for the most part, and the Bedouin in the Negev, who include half-nomadic and inhabitants of towns and villages. According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as of 1999, 110,000 Bedouins live in the Negev, 50,000 in the Galilee and 10,000 in the central region of Israel.
