Chomsky also addressed the talking-point in a 1988 debate at OSU with neocon Richard Perle.

The notion in-question is a political ploy. That was its intended purpose - as Chomsky states, 'to up the ante' once the PLO accepted that Israel was a factual reality.

That wasn't enough - Israel then demanded that its victims accept the alleged intrinsic political legitimacy of their own expulsion and oppression.

AFAIK, not even the US demands that indigenous peoples accept the alleged intrinsic political legitimacy of Manifest Destiny.

They don't now because the indigenous population is now so small and depowered as to be effectively rendered incapable of resistance. Back during the Manifest Destiny time period itself the US acquired land "legally" through "treaties" and the native population would be force to accept being "civilized" (which includes acknowledging the moral "correctness" of Manifest destiny" or face extermination.

Personally I believe that if Israel were to also kill 90% of the Palestinians and sequester the rest to "reservations" like Bibi and Trump seem want to do they'd also "start feeling bad" about it after 100 years like the US pretends to (and also like the US not actually do anything to rectify the problem).

Excellent point.

This reminds me of the recent event where Biden apologized for the forced re-education of indigenous peoples, who were taken from their parents and placed in boarding schools. Similar thing happened in Canada.
