Answer 1
"Invaders arrived with guns and forced them out."
Answer 2
Answer 1 is a rhetorical answer to this rhetorical question, when in fact a more accurate statement might be: Arabs that remained in Israel and whom chose to live peacefully became what is known as Israeli Arabs, and Arabs that either participated in pogroms or sided with Arab nations who sought Israel's destruction Identified themselves as "Palestinian".
Arabs prior to the six day war in 1967, were given aid from Arab nations and were informed that if they remained after the loss of the Jordanian controlled (woe to Jordan if they were to establish a homeland for the Palestinians when they had a chance) West bank, they would lose this aid and Arab Propaganda told them they would have no safe haven.
Additionally, many Native Palestinian Arabs residing in Jordan (also part of the original Palestinian mandate) were not recognized by the ruling family in Jordan favored by the Brittish for fighting the Turks during WWI, rose up against the Jordanians and were massacred on a very large scale by the Jordanians. (For more information read about the founding of the PLO and Black September.) Today, of course The King of Jordan styles himself as a Champion of Palestinian Rights and argues for the "Right of Return" as he would be happy to rid his own country of any Malcontents.
Arab Nations continue to exploit the Arabs that remained in Israel as a method of creating political and security problems as they were unable to destroy Israel in conventional wars.
Surely, Palestinian Arabs are the odd men out in middle eastern Politics as are the Kurds, Turkmen, Assyrians, and the Copts (who live under Arab rule with no homeland). But placing the blame exclusively on the founding of Israel is unbalanced.

∙ 13y agoThe Jews were kicked out of Israel by the Romans in the year 70 CE. The Romans later renamed it "Palestine". However, contrary to what many people believe, not all Jews were forced out which means that there has been an uninterrupted Jewish presence in Israel for over 3000 years.

Why is there no Palestine now that Israel has given the Palestinians the Gaza Strip for them to govern by themselves?
The Palestinians do have independent government in the Gaza Strip. It is not recognized since it is a rogue state that refuses to acknowledge or follow past treaties.
Where should the Palestinians go after creation of Israel?
Answer 1I am sure most countries in the world will be happy to receive them, and that include my country Malaysia. The Palestinians (both Muslims and Christians) have suffered so much over the years. However I am so sure that the Palestinians would rather die in their own homeland than having to move somewhere new. They are genuine fighters.Answer 2I wonder of the question. The Palestinians were living in their lands peacefully with Jews and Christians. When Israel was founded in 1948, it was the UN decree to divide the lands between both. Israel continued its occupation including the UN approved territories for the Palestinians. Then now you ask where the Palestinians (Muslims and Christians) will go? It was not better to ask what the Israelis should do to be fair with the native land people?Answer 3I would second Answer 2's curiosity concerning the origin of the question since Palestinians deserve the right to live on their own lands. Many ended up staying on their own lands and the number of Palestinian Israelis has increased every year since Israel's Independence War concluded in 1949. However, many Palestinians did flee the State of Israel and there are over 2 million Palestinian Refugees, so it is worth asking where those refugees should go. Many Palestinians fled to Lebanon and Syria, which have proven to be extremely bad choices. The way that the Lebanese, in particular, have brutalized the Palestinian Refugees is far worse than even the Israeli Occupation. Jordan was marginally better in that it afforded some Palestinians Jordanian citizenship, but the Jordanian monarchy is fearful (and reasonably so) that a substantial Palestinian majority could lead to its overthrow. As a result, Palestinians have regrettable treatment in Jordan.Probably the best place for Palestinians to go would be the West, especially the United States and Canada if they could swing it. Those countries would treat them less barbarically than all of their neighbors would. Additionally, unlike any Muslim-majority country, Palestinians can apply for asylum in certain Western countries if their situation is severe enough.
How was the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict resolved?
It has not yet been resolved. Israel and Palestine were closest to a long-lasting solution at the Taba Summit in Egypt in 2000 when Ehud Barak conceded on nearly all of the Palestinian requests, but was denied by Yassir Arafat who knew that the remaining concessions that Barak did not make would make the solution untenable for the Palestinians. (The primary issue was that there was no Right of Return for Palestinians to what is now Israel, which is a non-starter with Israel, but most Palestinians will not let go.) Since that time, international focus groups and thinktanks have come up with solutions, but there are too many people who are too unwilling to compromise to implement them.
How did Israel and Palestine make peace?
Israel and Palestine have had this conflict for years, mainly due to borders, security, water rights, control of Jerusalem and resolving Palestinian claims of a right of return for their refugees. Now it has gotten to the point where they are killing each other.

Who is in charge of palestine?
The British Mandate of Palestine covered all of current day Israel (including the occupied territories) and Jordan, as well as parts of Syria. Currently however, the term Palestine refers to the Occupied Territories where Israel has put the Palestinians previously occupying what is now Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces controls Palestine with an iron fist, though recently there has been efforts to bring the Palestinian Authority to power. This has not been successful as of yet because of many things, among them Israel's want for an Israeli Jerusalem without Palestinians and Israel's wants for better safety for their citizens (leading to much worse safety for Palestinians).

What was the name for Arabs who claim Israel as their own?
It depends on how they make that claim. Bedouin and Druze claim that Israel belongs to them as much as it belongs to the Jews and proudly call themselves Bedouin Israelis and Druze Israelis. A number of Arabs who formerly lived in what is now Israel or the Occupied Territories claim that the Jewish State is illegitimate and demand that country be returned to them for administration. These individuals are called Palestinians. (Admittedly, a number of Palestinians are willing to allow Israel to exist outside of the Occupied Territories, but there is no difference in naming between the Two-Staters and the One-Staters.)
