Answer 1
Because Jewish terrorists invaded their country.
Answer 2
Firstly, the estimates are usually higher than 300,000 and closer to 500,000-600,000. Secondly, there are a myriad of reasons that Arabs fled Palestine during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948-9. Some fled because they were afraid of the Jewish Militias and nascent Israeli Army. Some fled because they believed the Arab armies would be victorious and would eventually be able to return to their homes. Some fled because they thought it would be better to live as a refugee in an Arab country than under Jewish occupation.

Who fled Palestine after establishment of Israel?
Palestinian Arabs fled Palestine after the establishment of Israel.
How many Arabs became refugees in the war of 1948?
In May 1948, about 1,250,000 Arabs lived in British Mandate Palestine. 670,000 Arabs fled the new state of Israel and slightly less than 65,000 were ever able to return to their homes. That resulted in slightly more than 605,000 Palestinian Arabs, becoming refugees in countries outside of the new state of Israel. Children and other relatives, have been added to the total number of Palestinian refugees over the years.
How did the Arab Israeli war of 1948 affect Palestinian Arab '?
Many Arabs fled Israel and were forced to live in refugee camps for decades.
What happened in palestine 1948 and how does this affect Arab Palestine?
In 1948, the establishment of the State of Israel led to the Arab-Israeli War, resulting in significant displacement of Palestinian Arabs, an event they refer to as the Nakba, or "catastrophe." Approximately 700,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled from their homes, leading to a long-standing refugee crisis and ongoing conflict over land and sovereignty. The repercussions of these events have profoundly impacted Arab Palestine, contributing to political fragmentation, socio-economic challenges, and enduring tensions between Israelis and Palestinians that continue to this day.
Why did many palestinians end up in refugee camps in late 1940s?
because israel came and made the Jewish part of palestine into the new state of israel and Arabs attacked, they lost the war and signed an agreement and the Arabs part of palestine was now part of Jordan. about 7000,000 Arabs fled israel and became refegees and lived in crowded refugee camps outside israel. many still live there and they believe there homes are stolen.
How many Jews were in Israel in 1940?
A:Reliable figures for any one year are hard to come by, but Arnold Blumberg (The History of Israel) says there were 70,000 Jews in Palestine in 1914, and 600,000 by the end of 1947. For historical reasons, the figure for 1940 would be closer to the 1914 count. Answer 2In addition to those numbers, we know that the amount of Jews in Mandatory Palestine in 1931 was 175,000 according to Sergio della Pergola. If I had to guess what the Jewish population was in Palestine in 1940, I agree with Answer 1 in saying that it would be less than 335,000 (halfway between 70,000 and 600,000). My guess would be around 230,000-250,000.
In what Middle Eastern region did Jews and Arabs experience considerable conflict as they tried to attain their nationalist goals?
The conflict and strife between Arabs and Jews is currently confined to Israel and Palestine as previous attacks against Jews elsewhere in the Arab World. Jews fled from Arab Nationalist leaders on account of pogroms and other attacks on the Jewish community while asserting that being Muslim was part of an Arab National Character. Concurrently, Jewish Nationalists were trying to create a state in what was the British Mandate of Palestine causing anger with the endemic Arabs who wanted control of the region and resented the immigration of many foreigners.
Are Palestinians of Jordanian extraction?
No. It's the other way around. most Jordanians are of Palestinian ancestry. Mandatory Palestine was historically more populous than Transjordan both because the area of Mandatory Palestine was less arid and because the New Yishuv improved living conditions in Mandatory Palestine whereas Transjordan did not receive similar attention. When the Palestinians fled overwhelmingly to Jordan after the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, they became the majority population in Jordan.
How many refugees are there because of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?
In 1948-1955, 720,000 Palestinians fled Israel and 850,000 Jews fled the Arab countries.
What was the significance of Palestine at the end of World War 2?
Lots of Jews had fled to Palestine before the holocaust, as there were very few another countries that would accept refugees, even under the obvious threat of genoicde.
Where is Transjordanian Palestine today and who lives in that part of Palestine?
The British Mandate of Palestine was established in 1919 and was then partitioned into what is commonly known as the British Mandate of Palestine and the British Mandate of Transjordan (because it was on the opposite side of the Jordan River). This division came into existence because the British had promised the Hashemites (an important Arab family) a Kingdom for support in World War I. As a result, Transjordan fell under the control of the Hashemite Kings. When Transjordan became independent as Jordan in 1946, the Hashemites retained control of the country and still rule it to this day. The people of Jordan today are mixed. 40% of them consider themselves endemic Jordanians, which is to say that their ancestors lived in Transjordan before the independence because their ancestors lived in what remained in the British Mandate of Palestine until the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 (when presumably they fled to Jordan). It is important to note, however, that most Jordanians (endemic or Palestinian) consider themselves to be part of the same people: The Arabs of Bilaad Sham. (Bilaad Sham covers what is today Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and is traditionally translated as "Greater Syria".)
After Palestine became independent in 1948 a majority of the people in the country of Israel belonged to what religion?
We're not aware of a country by that name having become independent within recent history, and aren't aware of one in existence now. The mention of "1948" in the question does call to mind the year in which Israel's independence was declared. The majority of Israel's citizens are Jewish, and roughly 15% of its citizens are Muslim.However, the Israeli Declaration of Independence did not miraculously change the population over-night. The Israeli Jewish population and resident Arab population were roughly equal at the moment of the Independence Declaration. During the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, many Arabs fled and many Jews immigrated, leading to the current 4:1 Jewish to Arab ratio in the land.
