That's a nice euphemism for "they saw the next village massacred, so they ran away when the army approached their village".

Massacres happened on both sides, but one side (the instigators) had leadership telling them to flee, maybe because it wasn't really their homeland to begin with; they were just settlers from all over the region. And the other side stayed, because it was their ancestral homeland.

Have you done a survey, like how many people ran away because of the massacres per se, and how many ran away because their leaders told them to (for reasons unrelated to avoiding a possible massacre)?
You seem to assume that it is 0% of the former and 100% of the latter, which I find dubious.
Because even if it is let's say 50% and 50%, it is no longer true to say that all have left voluntarily.
Some of them stayed peacefully and are now happy citizens of Israel and those ones kept their land.
Others left on their own volition and at the recommendation of their own leaders after their side started a war and lost. And those ones have not been allowed to return and have lost their land. That’s what happens when you start a war and lose.
Others have been given land by Israel in deals where we have seen the result (the new gazans immediately burned to the ground the prosperity-building greenhouses that the Israelis left for them).
