“Zionism as a doctrine was not a good idea. But in just the same way, Manifest Destiny was a piece of impudence cooked up by Americans during our ‘look at us go’ stage. I don’t hold the doctrine of Manifest Destiny at all, along with the assumptions that were underneath it. And yet, here my house is, ensconced in Idaho, right in the middle of Manifest Destiny territory. I own that house, have a legitimate right to it, and would object in quite forceful terms if Nez Perce Indians were shooting rockets at it.”
