I think a clear difference between the H and the genocide of the American Indians is the speed and the sheer non-practicality of the mass killing of Jews in the former (as Justin has mentioned). If one looks at a parallel between Manifest Destiny and Nazi practice, it was the Slavs, not the Jews, who were the American Indians. They were to be killed/displaced from their land and that land resettled by Germans -- not much different from MD. Jews on the other hand who were citizens of places like Germany who were killed were not being killed so their land could be appropriated -- they were killed because in Nazi metaphysics they are inherently evil.

Nu, zayats, pogodi!
