The Indian wars isn't germane. The Indian wars were on again off again without a consistent policy. We also used other indians as scouts and collaborators nor was there a coordinated policy for extermination.

Let's not forget, too, that a Jewish revolt in Germany would have evoked no sympathetic response from other nations at that time, not even the US. Rather, every other Western nation (plus the USSR) would have responded to such a revolt by more tightly controlling their own Jewish populations.
I don't get that. No one in Washington, London or Paris was under any illusion to the dangers of the Nazi regime. Moscow would certainly have supported any movement that threatened the Nazis up until 1939 and the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, especially if it was connected to the KPD.

And even without a consistent national policy, the Indians still lost...which is my point.

You're underestimating the power of anti-Semitism in the 30s.

You don't have a clue do you?
Anti-Semitism was rife in almost every single government you mentioned including the United States.
In particular the US State Department as was its counterpart in GB was run and populated by WASP/upper class to wealthy white Protestant males. The few Jews in positions of power within government such as Robert Morgenthau fought an often uphill battle on behalf of the European Jews.
They do say the bending over backwards for the Jews you saw by the United States and other governments post WWII was in hindsight for their inaction during the War.
Hold on there Hoss, I don't think that we've been properly introduced.

There are and have been degrees of anti-semitism, from "not in my country club" to "not in my country." The anti-semitism of Nazi Germany or parts of eastern Europe did simply did not have an equal in the U.S. France, Great Britain.

The US was of the "not in my country" degree with regard to German Jews attempting to escape Germany in 1939. It's rather specious to think that after an armed uprising, German Jews would have been any more welcomed or that the US would have supported their uprising against the recognized legitimate German government.

the land owners and bankers didn't want to just exterminate the native americans...they wanted their land...if they gave up their land then great, if not THEN plan b
when gold was discovered this went into overdrive
sure there was probably a lot of hatred for the natives, but nowhere near the scale hitler and the Nazis had for the jews
not condoning what was done to the native americans, but it is not even close to the same thing

The point is that the Indians did not prevail through being armed.

this is true
but many of them died standing...fighting...
I think if the jews had been armed, less of them would have died in the camps, more would have died fighting...similar outcome though...
