The whites ended up driving the Indians into reservations. Is that your plan for the Arabs?

  I thought that a fairly substantial Israel claim to various areas and towns in the disputed occupied area is based on areas abandoned by Israel long ago?

That is a terrible comparison, the two are totally unrelated. Neither the americans nor the native americans wished for the destruction of the other.

That's as dumb as saying that since the Franks (ancestors of the French) came from Germany, the French are native people and indigenous to Germany..

This is untrue. Those who today call themselves 'Jews' are demonstrably not descended from inhabitants of Palestine.
