This is a continuation of the ethnic cleansing that Israel has carried out for the past 70 years. No big surprise.
Israel has roughly 2.000.000 Arabian citizens. They descent from 156.000 Arabs who stayed in Israel after 1948. This must be the least successful ethnic cleansing of all time!
Yes, you can cleanse minorities outside of your country while not harming another minority at home. Glad that we got that covered.
Indeed.
And also, being less efficient or succesful at ethnic cleansing compared to other (historic) ethnic cleansings doesn't somehow make it OK.
The number of Albanians in Kosovo has also grown and the number killed wasn't "huge" compared to the Holocaust or Holodomor or Armenian genocide.
But it was still a genocide and still wrong.
One can also pretty easily outmaneuver OP: If it isn't supposed to be a cleansing, why isn't Israel letting these people leave Gaza towards Israel to live as part of the arab population? Why are they blocked from becoming israeli citizens, even if they wished for it?
Oh, also: Did you know that in order to become an Israeli citizen, you must acknowledge that Jerusalem belongs to Israel?
Or even better, why aren't they even allowed to marry Israeli citizens and live in Israel on that basis?

This is some real, literal apartheid segregation shit.
You may want to look up what a genocide is. It definitely does not require the complete extermination of a people, even by the self serving UN definition.
And the population of the Uyghurs was rapidly on the rise until just a few years ago - especially compared to the Han-Chinese population. That is not an ethnic cleansing as well then, right?
What an idiotic comment. It's like saying the Armenian genocide didn't happen because there are more Armenians now than before.
Well given that there were 700000 Arabs who had to flee out of fear of getting murdered (or because they were directly ordered to flee by the IDF's predecessors), I'd say they were pretty successful.
Away with your logic, here we are convinced that Israel is literally Hitler.
