That's a bold move to excuse the rape and murder of children
It's not manifest destiny, it's a discussion of appropriate considerations regarding when land can be considering owned. (Also manifest destiny was more of an American thing.)

Your premise is that sparse nomadic people had MORE of a right to exist on the land than anyone else. I disagree with that premise.
