Israeli citizens instead of refugees.

For me, not allowing certain people to immigrate due to their ethnicity seems a bit wrong, especially since these people are returning to their ancestral homeland. That they're all uncivilized savages who want Sharia law isn't really a good argument. Besides, the idea of a Palestinian state seems to be a pipe dream, so the Palestinians will never have a state of their own to go to. If there was a viable Palestinian state, and the refugees wanted live there rather than in their former homes in Israel, that would've been fine with me. The problem is that there's no Palestinian state, nor will there ever be one.
