Why wouldn't we support a nation under attack by terrorists? If Native Americans were shooting rockets from reservations toward our cities, you'd better believe we'd take care of business too.
Not the best example - it draws attention to the fact that we also have a history of treating indigenous peoples like crap.
Is acknowleging America's past some sort of unmentionable taboo? Israel is just as much an established fact as the United States. Both have a troubling past, but both are a present reality. Neither is going away. But Hamas thinks that it can start some trouble just so they can play the victim in hopes of getting some concessions. They don't give an Inks that some of their own people will get killed. It's a cynical strategy that must not succeed. You don't reward bad behavior. It just encourages more of it.
