Jews were expelled by the hundreds of thousands from Iraq, Jordan and other Arab Nations in the 40s.
Jews have always lived in Judea or fought to maintain their presence and they don’t seem keen to leave anytime soon now that they’ve been granted statehood.

That was in large part thanks to the British colonizing and partitioning the old Ottoman Empire. The Palestinian Mandate was, after all, their idea. The Brits wanted to force a mass exodus of Jews from England and the zionists were the useful idiots who would get the job done. If you really want to go deep, you can trace a lot of that slander back to “The International Jew”, composed and published by American entrepreneur Henry Ford.
By the 40s, Jews got scapegoated in the Middle East the same way they’d been scapegoated in Europe a decade earlier. Sunni and Shia factions turned to infighting across territory the Brits had parceling out with a deliberate eye on maximizing conflict. And then we can consider a series of foreign-backed coups - from the military occupation of Egypt during WW1 to the '41 forced abdication of Iranian leader Reza Shah Pahlavi - that destablized the region for decades.
There’s a certain irony in Churchill’s “Final Solution” for the Jewish people being not all that different from Hitler’s original plan. Shove them all into a tiny patch of land on the Mediterranean coastline, as far from mainland Europe as we can get them, and transform them into a client state of the world’s largest arms exporters.
Are the Arab nations that expelled the Jews in the 40s and told them to go to Israel, going to give them their homes and citizenship back?
Didn’t think so.
Europe is not Arab nations.

Always fun when people let you know right away that they don’t know what they are talking about.
