Yes. This is an open secret. All Arabs know this...but few will admit it publicly. I have a Palestinian friend who fled from discrimination in Jordan to Israel where she found sanctuary. My family in Egypt told me not to say I was half-Palestinian or ppl would treat me badly.https://twitter.com/Claire_Voltaire/status/1151898584226205696 …
I think that’s a huge part of it (especially for Lebanese Christians) but they generally treat refugees badly there. @faisalalmutar has told the story of how a Lebanese customs agent spat at him (when he was entering as a refugee)-that was his welcome into the country
