Ethnic cleansing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, with the intent of making it ethnically homogeneous.[1] The forces applied may be various forms of forced migration (deportation, population transfer), intimidation, as well as mass murder.
Ethnic cleansing is usually accompanied with the efforts to remove physical and cultural evidence of the targeted group in the territory through the destruction of homes, social centers, farms, and infrastructure, and by the desecration of monuments, cemeteries, and places of worship.
Are there no Palestinians in Israel? Show me an area that has none.
You haven't shown where there are no Palestinians in Israel. I can show you huge swaths of land where there is no other religious group to be seen except for various Islamic factions. Is that bad? Is that ethnic cleansing? Is it proper that Muslims kill off the Christians in their areas as ISIS is doing? Is that OK?
