Stop ignoring history Jews were living on that territory for thousands of years, unlike Europeans un America. You are conveniently ignoring facts which would immediately render your analogy completely bogus.
And the native Americans weren't? You're the one ignoring history or intentionally misunderstanding the analogy.
Case A: population X came to a new land and killed almost all of population Y which lived there before.
Case B: population X came back to their homeland, got attacked by population Y, won the war, didn't not kill population Y, regularly tried to establish truce with population Y which continues to refuse the population X's right to exist.
Their homeland? It wasn't their homeland for hundreds of years. The Zionist movement displaced people already living there who had nothing to do with a conflict that occurred hundreds of years prior. They didn't kill the Palestinians outright but they sure as hell did a good job of systematically stripping them of their rights to exist.
Their stated goal from the beginning was to invade and establish a religious state where people were already living similar to what Europeans did when they colonized the Americas.
