The state declared was on the land the UN proposed.

The state envisioned a multi-cultural society that included the Arabs that lived there.

There were Arabs that became refugees as a result of the war.

There are also Arabs who left voluntarily before the war.

The borders were not ignored because they tried to show some recognition for the inhabitants. Rather they expanded from the need for some sense of defensibility. A need demonstrated by the five invading armies that attacked within hours of statehood.
Keep saying it often enough, and you might even believe what you say.
