It was aboandiend becaues there was a war going on and the people fled to the neighrboring arabs areas to avoid being hurt in the cross fire, assuming they could have their land back when the arab armies won. They lost and the land was taken up by israel because well frankly they weren't sympathetic to people who sided with their enemy. Not to mention that post Israel's war of Independence israel took in about as many jews from arab countries as fled israel, so it would only be logical that the arba countries taken in the arabs who had to leave. instead they just kept them in refugee camps feeding their hatred and using them as proxies.
