Okay, one by one.

If foreign nations decided to divide your homeland and give half of it to foreigners.

If you are talking about the Palestinian Mandate that was administered by the British, 77% of it already belongs exclusively to Arabs. They call it Jordan. Besides, Jews were already living there in large numbers. It is their only homeland. Zionism is a national liberation movement. An equal or larger number of Jews were expelled from Arab countries and Iran after 1948. They left with only the clothes on their backs.

If armed men came and killed your parents/grandparents/ neighbours and drove you out of your homes

More than half a million Arabs left Israel in 1947, but most did so either because they wanted to make room for the invading Arab armies to kill the Jews or because they did not want to be in the middle of the war. If Israel were as brutal as you claim, why are there still a million Arabs living in Israel, with freedom to worship, hold property, vote and be elected to parliament?

and you were born in a refugee camp in Canada would your see your self as a Canadian or would yourself as an American who wished to return to your homeland.

I got news for you, hundreds of millions of people were displaced by war in the past century. Take the Germans, for example: millions of civilians were expelled from Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia after WW II, to Germany, a country with which in many cases they had not contact in several generations. All have integrated and there are no German suicide bombers blowing themselves up in the former East Prussia.

What would you say to those who say there never was a America

There was never a nation-state made up of, and governed by, Palestinian Arabs. However, I understand that some of their more brazen propagandists are showing supposed Palestinian "postage stamps" to hoodwink the gullible.

Make that

However, I understand that some of their more brazen propagandists are showing supposed Palestinian "postage stamps" from before 1947 to hoodwink the gullible.
