In cases such as these, one has to examine a number of sources, and be objective.
"It isn't true! Say it ain't so!"
Let's just do the first one. "Did Israel evict the Palestinians". Yes, the propaganda instantly debunked by Israeli intelligence no less. The rest of the assertions are as easily debunked. They are Zionist propaganda.
"a report prepared by the intelligence services of the Israeli army, dated 30 June 1948 and entitled “The emigration of Palestinian Arabs in the period 1/12/1947-1/6/1948”. This document sets at 391,000 the number of Palestinians who had already left the territory that was by then in the hands of Israel, and evaluates the various factors that had prompted their decisions to leave. “At least 55% of the total of the exodus was caused by our (Haganah/IDF) operations.” To this figure, the report’s compilers add the operations of the Irgun and Lehi, which “directly (caused) some 15%... of the emigration”. A further 2% was attributed to explicit expulsion orders issued by Israeli troops, and 1% to their psychological warfare. This leads to a figure of 73% for departures caused directly by the Israelis. In addition, the report attributes 22% of the departures to “fears” and “a crisis of confidence” affecting the Palestinian population. As for Arab calls for flight, these were reckoned to be significant in only 5% of cases..."

(COMMENT)
I direct your attention to a couple of sources:
I'm sure that there is some truth to both claims. Usually I would not even argue this point. But the pro-Palestinian campaign attempts to portray themselves as absolutely blameless for any outcome that befell them since the surrender of the Ottoman Empire. This claim that the Israeli evicted or forceable deported the Arabs is but one such virtual victim claim.
A contemporary Palestinian is someone who most frequently blames the Jewish People (Israelis); and consistently acts to transfer the responsibility for the loss of what they consider their territory by some right they cannot document.
• This is a culture that pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, and ethical principles, that that they do not actually possess.
• A Palestinian is a member of a culture that teach each successive generation that: Palestinians do not merited negative treatment or blame they are associated with as terrorists and jihadists. They see every negative observation of them as some kind of conspiracy orchestrated by the US and the Israelis.
• The Palestinian seldom accepts a fault for any of the decisions in self-determination.
These are characteristics most often associated with the weak and unsuccessful. It's easier to blame others (America, the UN, the Mandatory, the Jewish) for the shortcomings of the Arab Palestinian than it is to take responsibility for them; and to cooperatively develop amore successful strategy.
• It is less difficult for the Arab Palestinian to blame the Israelis than to admit they have more defects then they want to
concede.
• It is less difficult for the Arab Palestinian to blame the Israelis than it is to improve their standard of living and engage in a focused nation building program.
• It is less difficult for the Arab Palestinian to blame the Israelis, America, and the UN than it is to face the reality that their expectations are beyond the reasonable expectation by using force, coercion and intimidation to defy the Resolution adopted by the General Assembly of more than a century ago; in a deliberate effort to alter by force the intent of establishment of a National Home for the Jewish people within such boundaries as may be fixed by the Allied Powers.
Most Respectfully,
