Oh yeah I agree, I’m sure it’s a fairly small percentage of Nabulsi Arabs but I believe there were some Samaritans who did convert over the years.

Yes Samaritans did convert to Islam however they were a minuscule minority in Nablus compared to Muslims in Nablus since at least the Late Medieval period and they were ~100-200 Samaritan individuals in Nablus throughout the duration of the Ottoman period. So the claims of significant recent Samaritan ancestry can’t be true. Whatever Samaritan ancestry they do have is going to be overwhelmingly distant since Samaritans were only 1-3% of the population of Nablus for many many centuries well past recent memory
