Well, Google says otherwise, eg with Haifa. So, it is not a clear cut. Saying that it was all evil zionists is history revisionism.
Moreover, the Arab-Israeli war was full of expulsions from both sides. My original point still stands.
Haifa is a cut-and-dry case. There was a massive attack by Zionist paramilitaries on the Arab neighborhoods of Haifa in April 1948, which ended with almost the entire Arab population fleeing.

I’m sorry, but Wikipedia is not a trusted source, especially after October 7th it’s just filled with propaganda.

Paints completely different picture based on the NYT reporting of the time. So, as I said: my point still stands.
You complain about bias, but then cite a website that is quite explicitly an Israeli propaganda operation.
Are you denying that the Haganah launched a massive attack on the Arab neighborhoods of Haifa in April 1948, driving the population to flight? That's just a plain historical fact. Denying that is like saying the US Civil War didn't happen.
