Although I liked your Native American analogy, you're a little off. The Cherokee Nation, Navajo Nation, etc. did fight to get their land back. Remember the American Indian Wars? American records list over 300 years worth of battles, and a lot of people died on both sides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik
i/Indian_Wars
the US fought them to submission and nearly extinction, but eventually we gave them equal rights as Americans and autonomy as sovereign people. The Palestinians have none of this. If we built walls around Native American territories, restricted their trade, sent in armies to occupy their streets and removed all of their freedom, liberties and hopes for the future, I assure you we would still be fighting.
Is Israel willing to do what we did to the American Indians? This war has been going on for decades, and bombing civilians hasn't made Israel any safer.
Maybe they should just skip to the end and give the Palestinians equal rights, freedom and sovereignty, like the US eventually did with the Native Americans.
