I don’t always agree with your comments, but this is an incredibly important point that needs to be phrased in exactly this way as part of the discussion.
Egypt and Jordan sticking Palestinians on a lower rung of the social cast and treating them like a backwater minority group is only adding what seems like intentional fuel to this fire, especially at this point. Sometimes externalized pressure from your neighbors doing the right thing is what it takes to force a rational resolution to a long standing crisis.
It seems to me that the international community would have A LOT less of an appetite for the bullshit Israel does if there were Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan & Egypt that became the humanitarian face of the issue. It would put a shit load of pressure on Israel to make concessions towards a long standing solution.
