This is what happens when you get displaced from your country, you would not be treated better in a third world country.

uh, the natives in north america were mostly killed off.

Wrong. The arabs did not control the country. The British controlled it from 1918-1948, and for 500 years before that, it was the Turks that controlled it.

The Americans tried to offer them education, incentives, etc. Thats why they were able to gain trust and live peace together.

Yes its up to Israel, because the destruction they've brought is not minor, so they have to rebuild the country, since they're the major power with the resources. How do you expect Palestine to improve if Israel oppresses its people and its governments? Thats why hate will always be there if things continue that way.

No because the Palestinians were forced to leave, so it was easy for them to resettle these refugees into their homes. Even though some refugees spent sometime in the camps, but they eventually took over the houses of Palestinians.

They were the majority, so they had every right to make decisions with other minorities that would best for each group.
