Now I have no doubt that it is not the competent legal institutions that inform you about ethnic cleansing. Hate to disappoint you, but you will not find "removing undesirables" in any definition of the term other than your own. Terrorists are undesirable. Enemy combatants are undesirable. Removing them is not even a war crime. Wanting to remove all Palestinians, even if that was theoretically possible, is not ethnic cleansing. Being wrong is not ethnic cleansing. And certainly, changing the subject to Trump and the United States does not turn war into ethnic cleansing.

Add one more to the absurd responses in this thread.
