          Palestinian is not an ethnicity, it’s just where you live, like Californian, or New-Yorker.

          The ethnicity would be Arabs.

            Then I’m sure other Arab countries would gladly take these people into their countries, since they are the same ethnicity, after all. What? They don’t? They see them as a different ethnicity and don’t want a(nother) provocative minority in their country?

              I mean, ethnicity isn’t really a qualification for citizenship. And all countries with an ethnic majority aren’t really obligated to take in people of the same ethnicity. The only country I’ve heard of with such a policy is weirdly enough Israel itself. The other arab countries should take Palestinians in just as an act of morality but this “they don’t because of their race” take is bizarre to me. Its very publicly because they don’t want a sizable chunk of their population to have supported radical governments like hamas (even if most Palestinians don’t and haven’t had the chance to since what is it, 2006?).

            Doesn’t change the fact that they’re mass murdering a bunch of innocent people in order to terrorize the indigenous people into compliance
