The American Indians lost everything. US is their rightful land. For centuries they were oppressed, tormented, raped, murdered, chased away from their homeland, robbed, turned to slaves, brought down to their knees in desperation. Today they have reserve lands today but they cant chop trees, hunt, farm freely in accordance to their culture. Many tribes were forever gone. US did not "collaborate" with the American Natives or "provide" for them. They killed most of them.

Yes and this is probably what will happen with the Palestinians too. At least native Americans can now vote, they have first class citizenship at last. I think a lot of Palestinians would be happy with that and it makes sense. But Israel can never accept it. Always "two state solution."

Israel's response will be disproportionate and I fear the Palestinians will be decimated as the native Americans were.

There are some tribes that are doing very well for themselves, and some tribes that aren’t

You must just not know about the tribes that are

Doing well now, by today's standards. This all happened 100 years ago when you could not say that. In 100 years whatever is left of the middle-east will be "doing quite well" also. Well, maybe not, but the point remains.
