There were about 2.5 millions native Americans, and they were overpowered in their own country, but so did the maya, the aztec, the incas, the hugunotes and many more all over the world. Sure, they still have a claim to their lands, but we live in a world where the strong survive.
When the Hebrews came out of Egypt, they went back to a land hardly populated and where there was no such thing as a palestinians as we know them today.
Little known fact, in 1948, it is Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon who told the 600,000 or so arabs living in Israel to get out so that they could "bomb the Jews" out of there. Those arabs who stayed in Israel, gained citizenship and have the highest per capita income amongst arabs. Those who move to syria, lebanon or jordan, still live in refugees camps, do not have any nationality and are among the poorest people on this planet
