Tell us, where did the Israelis fled to? Back to Europe? Other Arab countries? To the US who closed its borders?
If you had any clue you'd know about the Jewish Exodus.
As for their own self interests, those were shaped by calls by the Arabs for them to leave: they chose sides, and they paid for it.
If anything, the blame lies with the Arab countries -- too bad all they've done is keep them locked up in refugee camps as a way to motivate their own people.

Use that link carefully and stop tossing it aside.
After the creation of Israel and the massive displacement of Arabs OF COURSE THERE IS GOING TO BE ANGER ANY ANY JEWS
JUST LIKE HOW 9/11 CREATED A BACKLASH TO MUSLIMS HERE But enough people had their heads on enough to let anything et horribly out of hand.
I personally would LOVE to see those Jews go back to the respective countries they lived in:
It isn't RIGHT. It is CLEARLY WRONG what happened, but don't act like all Arab countries were itching to eject their native Jewish population - no matter WHAT group of people you deal with, someone will always look to a scape goat for something to happen - and the Jews in neighboring Arab nations got royally screwed...
of course this all Benefited the state of israel who tried to increase its population.

Read that for sad tales of what happened and what was lost.
And Lemon Head is VERY correct - as he seems to be one of the few willing to actually consider BOTH sides.
