Their numbers are now miniscule. What happened to Jews in Arab nations after 1948, going from 900,000 to maybe a couple thousand today is a better analogy, but still one I wouldn't make due to those Jews and their descendants still being alive.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian population grows exponentially at a rate at least as fast as Israelis.

And Arabs within Israel have equal rights. Arabs outside of Israel are not citizens. No comparison to either S.Africa or the native Americans.
