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.
