    Egypt and Jordan did take in Palestinian refugees at one point in the past. What followed was civil strife in Egypt, and a civil war in Jordan where their king actually died. Similar thing happened in Lebanon and Kuwait.

    By no means does this mean it’s right for them to ignore Palestinian refugees, nor that the past dictates the future, nor that Palestinians are inherently violent. I just understand their reticence.
