The Native Americans did not equal ~40% the US citizenry when their citizenship was granted. If they had, you can be assured reasons would have been found not to do it. They were demographically irrelevant and presented no threat to the security or character of the United States.
Insisting that any country extend citizenship to millions of violently hostile antagonists who have demonstrably no interest in sharing a country with them is so wildly unreasonable I struggle to imagine anyone suggesting it in good faith. If Palestinians want to be Israeli the onus is on them to act like non-insane humans one can conceivably share a country with. Which starts, at a bare minimum, with accepting the legitimacy of the polity they wish to join. But of course they don't want to join it. They never did. They want to replace it. And you're surprised when Israel is disinclined to go along with that.
