Israel/Palestine

You speak of ethnic cleansing with the confidence of an authority whose presumptions are to be taken for granted from the outset. But the best I can make of how you define ethnic cleansing is that it is something that Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza.

With all due respect, it is on you to demonstrate how and whether what Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza conforms to the definition of ethnic cleansing, not the other way around. And in order to do this, you must first articulate what you mean by ethnic cleansing and on what authority. Only then can you determine whether what you mean resembles the established definition of the term.

... Judging by how casually you use "ethnic cleansing" in a sentence, I anticipate that the former will bear little or no resemblance to the latter.
