45. Nakba anniversary?
Where does it mention that?

Sorry dude. It says "Israel's 63-year belligerent occupation" not Nakba anniversary.

When Israel was created, where did that leave the Palestinians?

Basically fucked, however that is hardly Israel's fault. The Palestinians started a civil war, lost and then lost the remaining land to their supposed allies, Egypt and Jordan. Which indicates that without Israel's creation, the Palestinians would have lost 100% of Palestine to its neighbors anyway. The only opportunity for a Palestinian state was always through Israel.

Incidentally, the Palestinians who remained in Israel did very well for themselves comparatively. It could have been this way for all of them.
