    Manifest Destiny is the belief that settlers should have their own country. That is all it is.

    In order to achieve this, the occupation and colonization of the indigenous nations is not necessary. In fact, before the conflict began (which as I've said was not started by the settlers), both the colonies and the Native Americans had portions of the region to control...That, in my opinion, is manifest destiny. That is what it originally meant to those who invented the idea.

    and anyway, Zionism was started by Christians that wanted to bring about the apocalypse
