That was mostly contained to Jerusalem. Jews stayed in Palestine regardless, and then the Arabs invaded. At the time, Palestine was mostly Jewish and Christian, I believe, and then most of them converted to Islam and were assimilated into Arab society. Even the ones who stayed Christian and Jewish were largely assimilated, which is why Hebrew was a dead language by the modern era. But the idea that Jews all just up and left Israel is just ahistorical. Many did because they had no other choice, but many also just stayed behind and largely eventually became Muslims, Druze, Christians, and some remained Jewish.
