This is the thing. Palestinians aren't treated as humans, but as tool or a weapon.

Even the countries that supposedly support Palestine, not a single of them offers to take refugees.

The truth is they hate Palestinians too (wrong Muslim sect) they just hate Jews a little bit more than them, but they have no problem if both kill each other.

What do you mean? The majority of palestinian are sunni muslim like the majority of arab countries and the vast majority of palestinian refugees outside of palestinian territory/israel are in the neighboring arab countries (albeit in horrible living conditions in refugee camps most of the time).

WTF are you talking about?

Those countries don't offer to take them in because they will not be let back after this is over.

The majority of Palestinians are sunni, and even if they weren't, that never really mattered to any country besides Iran.

And the countries of the Levant are known for being very secular, unlike Isn'trael.

Again, treating them like tools.

If a country is accepting refugees it is assumed those people will live in your country. Those countries won't accept them as refugees, because they hate them, and don't really want to help, they want Israel to burn, and if it takes Palestinians with them "even better".

That's the truth, about "supporting" Palestine by those Muslim countries.

wrong Muslim sect

Where did you pick up that idea? Most Palestinians are Sunni just like their neighbours.

Sorry. I oversimplified it. The ethnicity (and racism) and also prior experience helping also matters.

Supposedly Egypt is also Suni, but not only they don't want let refugees in, or even accept the Gaza strip. US had to negotiate with them to let humanitarian aid in.

Iran which looks like it had part behind this attack and supposedly are supporters of Palestinians, similarly won't do anything to help.

Their sympathy with Palestine is only when western cameras are rolling.

It's simple to see why no one wants Palestinian refugees. Last time countries accepted them they had a civil war on their hands. This way everyone lets Israel take the blame and pretend not to notice.

wrong Muslim sect

There's a bit of that but only as far as Lebanon is concerned, because Hezbollah is Shia and Palestinian Muslims (and especially Hamas) are mostly Sunni and there will likely be a fight for power between Hezbollah and Hamas if the latter ever infiltrate Lebanon, because for the past 13 centuries there has never been peace on the same soil between Shia and Sunni armed groups, which is why Lebanon is not opening its doors to Palestinians.

With regards to Egypt, sect isn't really the issue as both are Sunni. However, the military that is ruling Egypt has a very rough history with the Muslim Brotherhood (which was very violent back then, almost nothing to do with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood) from which Hamas was born, so they likely don't want Hamas terrorists infiltrating Egypt either.

So neither Egypt nor Lebanon want Palestinians as they're placing their security and more importantly their political interests above Palestinian lives.
