IPFS Letters to the Editor • Israel
Palestine before 1948 had a thriving population. The land was not vacant.
• Letter • NewsNews Link • Israel Israeli Manifest Destiny 10-21-2025 • https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Ira Katz This spirit was propounded in "Manifest Destiny, in U.S. history, the supposed inevitability of the continued territorial expansion of the boundaries of the United States westward to the Pacific and beyond." This sense of inevitability could be applied at any time and anywhere a resilient, ambitious, and even desperate and ruthless people come to a relatively sparsely populated region where the inhabitants do not have the wherewithal to resist their military, economic and cultural power. A corollary to this inevitability is the likely ethnic cleansing and/or genocide of the natives. Please check out this website with pictures showing that this area was NOT SPARSELY POPULATED!! Take a look at these many pictures. Does the land look vacant to you?
