    Countries like Jordan and Egypt will say they refuse to admit Palestinians as refugees because offering asylum would neutralize the live issue of Israel balancing its military operation in Gaza with human rights concerns. But the real reason is that the Middle East has opened its doors to Palestinians before, and almost every time, these host countries have been burned by the most ungracious houseguests imaginable.

    The countries said it was because of human rights concerns, but the article author knows better: it’s because Palestinians are bad!
