    In US south of 1950's, the oppressed "blacks" were all US citizens of west-African (and not necessarily pure) descent. By contrast, West Bank "Palestinians" are by 1966 rules citizens of Jordan and those of Gaza are Egyptians. Closest to reality of equivalent are Biharis (urdu-Speaking Muslims descended from non-Bengali migrants of 1947) of Bangladesh--indeed, it even shows in the support of "Palestinians" (through their "leader" Haj-amin Husseini) for Nazis during WW-2 and support of Biharis for Naziesque government of Pakistan in 1971! To even get a close US equivalent, I had to resort to a hypothetical group of Mexicans who stayed put--WITHOUT accepting US citizenship--in areas siezed by US from Mexico in 1840's (in war STARTED BY Mexico)! Don't try mindlessly comparing it with US south or South Africa!
