What about the Jewish towns and communities that were destroyed after the creation of Israel throughout the Arab world?

Like I said, there was never a reason to create an ethnostate exclusive to one master race. The arabs actually offered the creation of a binational state, which was promptly refused by the zionists.
The arabs were trying to find a peaceful way to integrate the Jewish community into the arab world. Yet the zionists had maximalist ideas to colonize the entire land. As for the Jewish refugees. That was only a result of the creation of Israel. Those refugees would not have existed without the partition of 48.
The creation of Israel in itself was an act of war, not the retaliation that followed.
