The story is complicated. Israel accepts Jewish refugees as citizens. The Arab states preferred to keep Palestinians as stateless hereditary refugees as sticks to beat Israel with. It is still easier for a Palestinian to become a citizen of US, UK, Australia, Canada … than most Arab states.

They COULD even become Israeli citizens, as many have done; those in Gaza refuse to, and a recent poll showed 75% would vote for Hamas again, in the midst of this war. Those 2 facts alone should tell you they are NOT "oppressed" by anyone but themselves!
