There were jews already living there that wanted their muslim and christian neighbours replaced with jews, and there were jewish immigrants that were happy to build a kibbutz out in the desert and trade with their Arab neighbours.

What of the jews that were ethnically cleansed out of their Arab and North African countries? Where should they have moved?

    a western colony

    Israel grew out of an existing jewish presence, and the first waves of immigrants came from Russia and Yemen, while under Ottoman control. Whoever told you it's a 'western colony' was lying to you

    where the money was

    Most arrived with nothing and worked long hours in collectivist communes

    The arabs never expelled anybody.

    You can find some nice sourced examples in here

    And again: where do you suggest they should have moved?
