"I am not a criminal. I didn't steal the land"
This is probably exactly what many average Israeli teenagers think when they attend the funeral of their friends who were torn to shreds by a ball bearing filled bomb while gossiping in a cafe.
On the contrary, you are without a doubt benefiting from the land that was seized from American natives. Your belief that "white man" is trying to repay natives is completely a self serving delusion. Instead of a tiny speck of almost resourceless land like Israel, an entire continent was taken from it's native American inhabitants (North/South America). So if Israel pays each Palestinian $50 will that be an attempt to repay them "none-the-less" and help justify the existence of Israel? We can thank god that native Americans are not naturally belligerent and militant like arabs seem to be, otherwise we too might be witnessing daily suicide bombings in the cafes of American cities. Actually more like cities from South America up to Canada. The natives that were displaced by the Europeans around let's say Washington DC very likely kicked some other group of natives off the land at one time. Israelis in Palestine were sent into exile by the Romans. History is replete with examples. The difference with arabs however is that they seem to never let things go in the interest of peace. They LOVE A GOOD FIGHT and look for reasons to hate others. In the grand scheme of things, Palestine is an insignificant speck of dirt, yet for an irrational reason the entire world is unstable because of it. If hypothetically there is some alien intelligence observing us, they would be completely bewildered by our inconsistent and irrational behavior. They would be perplexed of why a large sophisticated nation of millions like Iran would threaten starting a global nuclear war over an insignificant speck of land like Palestine when there is nothing especially unique that has taken place there. One explanation is religion which they would have to consider a huge element in our irrational and destructive behavior.
