  I can count on no fingers

  The number of Arab states that have every provided any real assistance or aid to any Palestinians anywhere. Egypt essentially outsourced their Palestinian underclass problem when they pushed their Palestinians into Gaza and then abandoned them unasked and unqualified in December 1967. The several hundred thousand Palestinian 'refugees' some of whom moved there in the 1950's have never been allowed to even ask for Syrian citizenship. Likewise Palestinians arrived in Lebanon in 2 waves. One in the early 1960's: they have also never been allowed to request citizenship 2 or 3 generations in. The second wave was in 1970 after Yasser Arafat tried to overthrow the government of Jordan which resulted in a brief civil war, 30,000 causalities and expulsion from Jordan to Lebanon. These Palestinians many of whom were soldiers and their families have also never been allowed citizenship in Lebanon. Jordan is a special case which actually did offer citizenship to some Palestinians (Jordan is about 75% Palestinian anyway) but those people were convinced by the PLO to refuse the offer since it would take away from their 'struggle' to take over all of Israel. About 40,000 Palestinians were invited to Iraq by Saddam Hussein. He threw Iraqis out of their homes and jobs to give the Palestinians special status. After Saddam was gone, the local Iraqis had some payback and persecuted the hell out of them for taking over their lives and aligning themselves with Saddam. Similarly after the 1990-91 Iraq/Kuwaiti war, about 230,000 Palestinian guest workers and their families were immediately expelled from Kuwait for their loyalties to Saddam.

  There is something broken in the culture of Palestinians to willfully make so many bad decisions one after the other. A student of Jared Diamond would call that the Easter Island Syndrome: A culture that willfully makes so many awful decisions that it goes extinct.
