“Why Arabs hate Palestinians”.
[It was the Romans who came up with the term “Palestinian” as a pejorative descriptor of the Jews living in the Levant. The term was appropriated by Yasser Arafat in the 1960s to galvanise a confected “indigenous people”. Bottom line remains: “Palestinians” are Arabs. So the “hatred of Arabs for Palestinians” is like the hatred, say, of Italians for the Mafia. All same-same; just some of them very tiresome]
Two reasons for the hatred of Palestinians by Arabs. Which changed over time.
1. It started off as a strategy: to pressure the new state of Israel. Arab leaders to Arab States: Do NOT accept any Palestinian refugees. Put all the pressure on Israel.
2. Then it morphed into hatred of Palestinians for what Palestinians do. Because Palestinians bring murder and mayhem wherever they go.
To Jordan. Who closed the doors in them in 1972, and pushed out as many as possible, especially those identified as terrorist. (Even as Jordan is majority Palestinian).
To Lebanon which was ruined by the influx of Palestinians kicked out of Jordan. They Parasitised Lebanon to a hollow Islamist shell of its former multiracial multi-faith self. Jews and Christians… hunted out of existence.
To Syria, which suffered myriad problems with its Palestinian incomers.
To Iran, where even the genocidal murderers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps don’t want them.
Then there’s Munich 1972. Palestinians terrorists. (“Freedom fighters”, but only if you’re brain rotted).
The only places foolish enough to allow Palestinians into their country are the naive, the hopeful-wishful thinkers in places like my own Australia. Which has taken in more Palestinians per capita than any other country. This is virtue signalling to a suicidally-empathetic extreme.
By the way, it was wrong of the West to simply accept the Arab States’ refusal to take any Palestinian refugees.
We should have called out the hypocrisy of the Arab states right from the beginning. For refusing help to their own Arab brothers and sisters. For that is what Palestinians are; they are Arabs.
Just as we should have called out the hypocrisy of Egypt in keeping its border with South Gaza hermetically sealed while attacking Israel for its own far more porous border on the East Gaza. This allowed the “open-air prison” lie to spread. Some tu quoque, aka “whataboutism” was needed. “What about Egypt”?
