Wrong. The Arab nations called on the Arabs living in Israel to “come out so that we may cleanse the land.”
They abandoned their homes anticipating a quick return after the "war." Unfortunately for them the Arab armies were repelled by the Israelis who were using antiquated and inferior military equipment.
The food in the larders and the water in the cisterns found at the abandoned houses saved the Israelis from starvation and dehydration until they could grow/collect their own resources.
Hmmm, sounds familiar:
10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Deut 6
>>3) The Jews drove those millions off their land in 1948.

Peters makes a point that is ignored by everyone. After that war, at least as many Jews as Arabs who were expelled from Israel were stripped of everything they owned and thrown out of Arab countries.
