    That’s loaded language which is a falsification what is actually occurring.

    We all agree that Israel wants to relocate the Palestinian people outside of their border. It’s agreed that Israel has no intention of murdering or enslaving the population. That’s not cleansing, that’s a forced migration or population transfer.

    We all know why you want to use loaded language because it generates a image in the minds of low information people of murder and enslavement.

      It’s literally the definition of the phrase.

      Ethnically cleansing an area, is ensuring an ethnicity is removed, or cleansed from the area.

      I’m sorry you disagree with the dictionary, reality must be really difficult to deal with. But we have to deal with the reality we’re presented with, and not the reality we would like

      I did not agree with you on either of those statements.

      You haven’t brought it up, but I might as well head off the next issue, it is a genocide:

      https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide

      It is agreed that it is a genocide

          They were bolded because i was using the same rhetorical device the other commenter was using right back at them, telling your speaking partner that they agreed to something they haven’t agreed to

            I dunno, I went back and read through the comments again to see if I had misinterpreted it and it really just seems like you two are splitting hairs.
