First the stateless Arabs should be allowed to move to any arab state,

Agreed. The new country would be ~60% Arab, 40% Jewish, so the stateless Arabs would be in an Arab state with a large Jewish minority.

Second the United States was not some gentle protector when the natives were moved to reserves.

No one said it was.

Will you agree that the Israelis have the right to use the same solutions as they move the palestinians to their reserves?

It's not a matter of "rights", its a solution to the Israel-Pal situation that is just, satisfies the Palestinian "right of return" and allows the Israelis the chance to leave in peace and acceptance with their neighbors, as they claim they desire.

Why should Israel be forced to absorb all those palestinians, into the tiny space of israel, Should it also absorb and rule as a protectorate Palestine.

Tiny space? Absorb? The Palestinians and Isrealis are all already there. The Israelis should grant citizenship to the stateless Palestinian refugees, change the name of the country so that it is reflective of the Muslim-Jewish-Other population of the country (not just the Jewish population), gain acceptance and recognition by their neighboring Arab countries, and change a wartorn ethnic-based region into one which integrates and accepts others, regardless of their ethnicity and/or religion. Just as we do in the USA....
