That is an excellent analogy. The 1948 ouster of 700,000 of the 1.2 million Palestinians from their homes was very much like the Trail of Tears.

<<< One reason we study history is to learn from past mistakes. When we examine the tragic plight of Native Americans in this country, we regret the actions of our predecessors. Similarly, we cringe at the number of innocent Jews that were killed in the Holocaust. Does the uprooting of indigenous people still occur today? Unfortunately, yes. And sometimes our own government condones it. Such is the case in the country of Israel - historically known as Palestine. Much like the Native American struggle, millions of Palestinian people have been expelled from their homeland since the founding of Israel in 1948. Those who choose to remain are shoveled off into small regions, struggling to maintain their right of existence under harsh living conditions and government-sanctioned racism. >>>
