Smyrna Greeks (who largely fled the bankruptcy of Greece cause by the first
modern Olympics - see fam hist of Seferis & Elytis) faced the same.
Ditto Armenians. THey were all seen as "Russian Agents"
Just as Orthodox Christians are now seen in the USA.

explained in a lecture at Shalem College on Jan. 1, 2024 by Haviv
Rettig Gur, a Senior Analyst for the Times of Israel. In his
[40]presentation entitled "The Great Misinterpretation: How
Palestinians View Israel," at 1:06 Gur speaks of the,
Themes within Arab culture of Islamic betrayal, . . . Arab betrayal.
. . . weakness that functions as a theme of Palestinian history at
every turn. Arab weakness, Muslim weakness, and the desperate
desire to be redeemed from that weakness. . . . Islamic weakness
. . . is at the heart of the Palestinian story. It's a theme of how
Palestinians think about us, imperial patrons. . . . We saw how the
fact that we were Russian [emigrants to the Holy Land] in 1882
matters as much as the fact that we were Jews. . . . being Russian
was the fear factor toward us, because they're Ottomans. . . .
there's always an imperial patron.
Gur explains that although the original Jewish Russian immigrants in
the 1880s-90s were themselves refugees fleeing overwhelming persecution
and pogroms, once rid of them Russia viewed "their" Jews in the Middle
East as Russian citizens, and negotiated with the Ottoman rulers for
extraterritoriality, meaning that the immigrant Jews were not subject
to Ottoman and local law. Thus, however abject the Jews' poverty and
weakness, the Arabs considered them as colonizers, an extension of
Russian sovereignty.
As Jewish immigration came from, at different times, Britain, France,
and Germany, the Arabs considered these Jews colonists from these
countries, although they were, rather, refugees fleeing to escape
persecution who were returning to their ancestral home.
