500,000-700,000 Arabs fled into Arab Countries from Israel and became refugees.
900,000-1,000,000 Jews fled from Arab Countries into Israel and became refugees, their descendants make the majority of Israelis.
The difference being, Israel has absorbed those incoming refugees, while the Arab countries for the most part did not, they use them as a political tool (a common cause, a unifying topic, a diversion from poverty, poor health care, poor education and corrupt governments).
All refugees should get compensation, note however overwhelming majority of Jews were city dwellers, hence their lost property worth is much higher, in addition to them being higher in number, unfortunately a reason for Arab regimes to object to reparations.
60 million people were refugees on the 20th century, they all have moved on, except for those Arabs of Palestine/Israel, who are kept a refugee status by corrupted Arab countries, UNRWA and their own political leaders.
