I may haven't given up since prodded by some on this thread. Sleep tight.

Then the first thing you should do is start relaying that those Europeans who stole the name "Americans" committed genocide on native Americans. That's a biggie. Definitely a strong case for war crimes and far worse than what was done to the slaves.

Land deals: Other than Manhattan, the Americans bought, sold and gave away land that belonged to the native American.

Why didn't you mention when the native Americans were given the right to vote?

You could have even kept on point by saying that the reason the American Indian gave up was because that were virtually wiped out as a race, while in comparison the Palestinians are primarily refugees. When a group faces extinction, choosing to "give up" is a matter of survival, not merely displacement.

A really good tidbit is if you can find the estimated native American population before the white man showed up and contrast that with the native American population of today. I've seen the estimates and it clearly shows the level of genocide that occurred.
