This goes both ways:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world

Nearly 1 million Jews got displaced, exiled, or forced to flee. This was done purely because Israel was created. Many islamic countries are extremely antisemtic and were waiting to do this for a long time, but they didn't have the justification until Israel was created. The thing is that these Jewish communities, while oppressed and always under the threat of violence, have managed to form their own communities in a lot of islamic countries for centuries. They all of a sudden found themselves being kicked out of their countries, many with no possessions, to a country they had nothing to do with.
