Actually you're kind of wrong in regards to help from Palestinians; Palestinians HAVE helped Americans during at least one time of oppression in the best way an oppressed group of people could:

Despite being oppressed and suffering immense poverty, they did what they could with the very little they have to help oppose an oppression they recognized.

I didn't mean for it come off as saying that they haven't helped, moreso the fact this person is acting like it should be expected of them given the situation they're in. The fact that they took the time to help out the Ferguson protestors while having to deal with their situation at home is a great example of solidarity.

Please don't misunderstand, I didn't assume you were saying they hadn't helped, I more meant that the view the guy in the post was propagating was false but I was trying to mock the other guy's views; I should've worded my post better!
