Saying that no nations want to take Palestinian refugees does not make you a racist.

The fact remains; no Middle Eastern nation wants Palestinian refugees, not for their genes, but for their politics.

"Saying that gays steal does not make you homophobic": technically true, but you're being selective with your understanding of facts.

Most states (talking about decision-makers, not populations) don't want to take in large groups of refugees, not because of their genes or politics, but because it has a cost and risks (in terms of integration, gov perception, fuelling far right parties, etc.). Nothing to do with Middle-Eastern/Palestinian.

Even though there are examples of massive refugee intakes by states, everywhere, including in the Middle-East, including of Palestinians, including voluntary.

I'm not saying anything about Palestinians themselves. Only the opinion of others about them.

I'm saying shop owners think that gays steal.
