Canada and the US are not based in exclusivism, we do not keep our indigenous fenced in, but rather encourage their full participation in society

oh man, wish we had some North American indigenous on the thread to give this the answer it deserves! Apparently you have never heard of reservations, still an active feature of the landscape. Your dates are equally bogus: Wounded Knee was in the 1890s, American Indians didn't have citizenship until well into the 20th century.

There was nothing unique about Herzl's nationalistic push, and until the 1920s most Arab nationalists thought of the Zionists as potential allies for their own nationalism, though they knew perfectly well that that it would mean ceding some portion of land in Palestine to them. Nor is there anything in the least bit unqiue about the "law of return"; entry and citizenship rules all over the globe privilege members of the nation over outsiders.

What it amounts to, is that the same behavior that you accept as fine from anybody else, becomes an outrage when done by Jews. In reality you accept far worse behavior from others than you demand of the Zionists.

South Africa studied, visited and admired Canada's reservation system and considered it a model for effective segregation..
