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?

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?).
