It’s kind of amazing that one guy made up some stuff about how his family took in Jewish refugees and how those refugees then kicked them out of their own house with the establishment of Israel, and how that is now asserted as being a common story of the 1930s/1940s Mandate.
Like I suppose it could be possible that someone actually experienced Mohammed Hadid’s story (although probably not Hadid himself, given that he was living in Nazareth, not Tzfat like the story goes, and his father is apparently on record as a Palestinian who left because he didn’t want to be ruled by Jews, not because he was forced to), and I’m sure there were more who felt they were betrayed by their Jewish friends (because those friends wanted Jewish self-determination, and took up arms to defend it when various Arab forces were mounting to oppose the establishment of the state), but the historical record is clear that the political forces of the Arabs in Mandate Palestine were not welcoming to Jews, and in fact tried every thing they could (including violence and terrorism) to slow down and stop Jewish immigration (at a time when Jews needed a place to escape to) and prevent any sort of Jewish self-determination after the Mandate ended.
