Heck, even Palestinians don't like each other.

Technically, Jordan is actually the "homeland" of the so-called palestinians. However, as a group, they're both feared and hated by the rest of the arab and muslim world, and as a result, unwelcome anywhere, including their own "homeland." When they tried to overthrow the Hashemite royal family of Jordan, the Jordanians began what later became known as "Black September." This is the Jordanian action that the terrorist group later took as their name. During that time, as many as 25,000 so-called palestinians were killed by the Jordanian military.

And a reason that they're both hated and feared by the rest of the arab and muslim world is that the world saw what they did to Lebanon.
