The expulsion of Palestinians started in earnest in late 1947, intensified in 1948 and continued at a slower pace for years.
Why do you think the expulsion of Jews didn't happen until 1948 and after? And just as an aside, not all of it were expulsions. The Zionists of the time actively encouraged Jews to make their aliyah to Israel after realizing the full extent of the Holocaust in Europe. See the Magic Carpet operation for example.
It was all terrible. We can't imagine what people went through on both sides. Yet only one side had a country to go to, where they became citizens and could thrive. Palestinians are stateless refugees to this day. That wrong has not been made right.
But none of it would have happened if Israel had not been founded the way it was.
The editing of history is when that cause and effect, and the chronology, ad well as the consequences, are ignored or glossed over.
