CDSmith, I know that the native Americans are not in a mad terror campaign.
My hypothetical point was this: what if in 2,5,10 years from now, a national movement of the Indians will be established and they will "demand" all their territories back ?
Are you going to give it back ?
No ?
Ok, what if they'll start terrorizing you ?
What if they'll send suicide bombers to target your civilians ?
Will you then return the land to the ones who held it in the first place ?
No ? Damn, you're being hard on me.
Ok, how are you gonna react to those terror attacks ?
Are you gonna negotiate with them and then end up with a settlement that goes something like "We'll give 50% of your land back" ?
No ? damn, it's really hard to argue with you.
Ok, what if people from other countries in the world will tell you "let's go 3,000 years back and see who owned the land first" ?
Will you then dismantle your countries and move to Europe ?
No ?
Why not ?
Justice should be served - shouldn't it ?

I know that you're no in war with those people right now.
My point was that if you were in conflict with the indians, you wouldn't have acted any differently than Israel.
It's easy to hold the views you're holding when it's someone else's conflict you see every evening on TV.
I have no doubt in mind that if we were talking about your own conflict (and I'm not wishing you one), your views would have been totally different.
