If you’re into that sort of thing……Gaza and the West Bank being part of Israel is a big check mark for end times prophecy type stuff.
it more or less starts the clock.
“Killing off all the people of a certain group” is good old fashioned genocide - how most people understand it at least.That’s typically not what comes to mind when someone says “ethnic cleansing”, imo. Insinuates an outright killing off of all people of a certain group. And I don’t think that’s what Trump is advocating.
I get what your saying, but are they not mostly synonymous? Loosely speaking, we could say they are. People sure weren’t being relocated in the Balkan war. Straight up ethnic cleansing by death.“Killing off all the people of a certain group” is good old fashioned genocide - how most people understand it at least.
“Ethnic Cleansing” is clearing a region of a certain people. You don’t have to kill them, just remove them.
If by hook or by crook, when all this is done, there are no more Gazans in Gaza - it’ll be something…
Ethnic Cleansing can include killing on a mass scale.I get what your saying, but are they not mostly synonymous? Loosely speaking, we could say they are. People sure weren’t being relocated in the Balkan war. Straight up ethnic cleansing by death.
Ethnic Cleansing can include killing on a mass scale.
-Kill a 1/3 outright
-Bus a 1/3 out
-Last 1/3 flees the area on their own
You have “ethnically cleansed” an area.
All genocide is ethnic cleansing.
Not all ethnic cleansing is genocide.
The Palestinians would it seems.Nor is all ethnic cleansing a bad thing. The people throwing the around loosely right now are the same people who would low to see all of Israel cleansed and left to the people of Gaza and the WB
He admitted yesterday he’s on the Palestinians side …..by calling Israel “the other side” so of course he wants what they want.Just to be clear, you want to run an ethnic group out of that territory, right?
I assume when you refer to one group as “European colonizers” you’re implying they should leave.
Ethnic cleansing is what cast Jews throughout Europe and the ME. Been happening in that part if the world since the dawn of humanity.Relocation is ethnic cleansing.
edit- Trump can't be careful with his words, that's beyond him.
It’s not a good outcome for the other countries tho. At least for Egypt, their economy has already been suffering from the refugees they’ve allowed in from Gaza, Sudan and Syria.Ethnic cleansing is what cast Jews throughout Europe and the ME.

What's the best thing for the Palestinian people?
These are tough questions.
Is the Palestinians being moved to Egypt, Jordan or Syria the best possibly outcome to an impossible, insanely complicated situation? A very good case can certainly be made objectively.
No it isn't. They get a radicalized and highly tribal problem.It’s not a good outcome for the other countries tho. At least for Egypt, their economy has already been suffering from the refugees they’ve allowed in from Gaza, Sudan and Syria.
And unless they do extremeeeee vetting you risk Hamas crossing the border Which would be terrible for both Israel and Egypt. Sisi has done a good job of getting rid of the Islamic extremism
Hopefully after all this outside forces will stop funding terrorism but that’s definitely too much to askNo it isn't. They get a radicalized and highly tribal problem.
The Palestinian people have been used as pawns for decades. No one can/wants to take them on.
