>Honest question: Were they expelled, or did they flee? Or some of both?
Both, the fleeing was a direct result and the very intention of the massacres to achieve the ethnic-cleansing[1] of Palestinians. Those who fled were not only refused back onto their land and homes, but were also shot at and killed when they tried going back into their homes.

I think the difference matters. "I'm not living with those people in charge" and then fighting for the better part of a century to throw them out, gets less sympathy from me than "they threw me out".
On the other hand, I have some sympathy for Cuban exiles, so maybe I'm inconsistent...
