When you say "Palestinians have nowhere to go either"...ask yourself, why is that? Why is it that Egypt keeps it's borders closed to their Arab/Muslim neighbors...or Saudi...or Tunisia...or...or...or. With consistency, countries throughout the Arab world have resisted any kind of Palestinian immigration. Wonder why? I think it's because the more complete phrase is "Palestinians have nowhere to go that will tolerate/accept their single minded jihad to kill Jews anywhere in the world"...yeah...I can see why Saudi or Egypt doesn't want to give that, and everything that goes along with it, a home.
Israel proper - excluding the WB and Gaza - is over 20% Palestinian, second only to Jordan. They're teachers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, Knesset members...fully functioning members of Israeli society. They're descendants of Palestinians who, in 1948, accepted Israels invitation to stay and peacefully be part of accepting and growing this new country.
That said, a large group of Palestinians in 1948 decided they'd listen to their Arab neighbors who urged them to stay committed to their "Let's Kill Jews" way of life. Their descents are the refugees of Gaza/WB who haven't given up on that mantra and the Arab world has been using them as their weapon to terrorize Israel ever since.
