Original Note:
This number conflates those who were expelled and those who voluntarily fled the 1947-48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine and the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Around the same time, about 900,000 Jews fled or were expelled from Muslim-majority countries. https://www.un.org/unispal/history2/origins-and-evolution-of-the-palestine-problem/part-ii-1947-1977/#:~:text=Over%20half%20the%20indigenous%20Palestinians%20fled%20or%20were%20expelled%2C%20the%20refugees%20numbering%20726%2C000%20by%20the%20end%20of%201949 https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Birth_of_the_Palestinian_Refugee_Pro/uM_kFX6edX8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA67&printsec=frontcover https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world
