Bearing in mind the terrible events of the Holocaust how do you think the Israeli government and people should act towards the Palestinian people?

There is an implicit assumption in this question that Israel is committing a genocide in against the Palestinian People and that the memory of the Holocaust should be a warning against such conduct. That is not the case and merely hyperbole. Read the Related Question below which discusses this issue.
If the question only approaches the situation from "How could Jews use their past experiences to inform the Israeli Government position towards the Palestinians?" there is certainly much room to discuss this important issue and there are numerous opinions on the topic:
1) The Israeli Government already does more to help the Palestinians than any other situated government. Israel is responsible for 80% of Gaza's electrical and gas power, even though Hamas refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist. Israel also provides most of the food and medicine to Gaza. The Israeli government informs civilians where attacks are going to come from and where to flee to in order to avoid hostilities. Palestinians can take up cases in the Israeli Supreme Court and occasionally win legal issues against Israeli Citizens. How is the Turkish government dealing with Kurds? How are the Iranians and Pakistanis dealing with the Baloch? What did Yugoslavia look like in the 90's and the recent Kosovo War? Not even a fraction of these niceties have been observed. This shows that the Israeli government goes out of its way to help Palestinians.
2) The Israeli Government could afford to do more to help the Palestinian people. Israel could help to build a functioning civilian judiciary for the Palestinian people, organize departments, promote economic independence for Palestinians, increase trade and financial support to those Palestinians who are improving the situation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Israel should also provide compensation to the Palestinians for the events of the 1948 War and the dispossession of their land. None of these activities are required by international law, but Jews should aspire to higher level of morality than the letter of the law.

Why when its cold outside your car squeals when you start it?
Depending on the sound, it could be a slipping belt or a worn pulley bearing. A slipping belt is typically caused by a belt that needs adjustment or by a weak idler spring. A worn pulley bearing can be any of a number of things, the bearing on an alternator, an idler pulley bearing... who knows until you get into it. Also, sometimes a worn heater motor will make a terrible noise when it's cold, as can a radiator fan motor.
