I honestly don't see how that could be the case. "X is just as bad as Y!" only excuses X if Y is already excusable. Are you saying that manifest destiny was somehow defensible as a moral act?

A lot of people do think manifest destiny is excusable. Now they can think Israel's actions are excusable, too.

I'm pretty confident that the people who thought that already believed that Israel's actions were excusable.
