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!
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.
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.
Theoretically sure, but the discrepancy makes it problematic to speak of of ethnic cleansing in this case. If you steal land for the purpose of getting land, you’re probably still committing a crime, but it’s not ethnic cleansing because the intend is something different. E.g. greed or the desire to ensure your safety by holding a strategic position (that’s why Israel took the Golan heights).
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?

Yes, you can cleanse minorities outside of your country while not harming another minority at home. Glad that we got that covered.

What an idiotic comment. It’s like saying the Armenian genocide didn’t happen because there are more Armenians now than before.
Away with your logic, here we are convinced that Israel is literally Hitler.
