Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s backers view his corruption trial as a witch hunt — but his detractors argue it is the system finally catching up to a ruthless political operative who is prepared to do anything to hold on to power.

Its spelled ‘genocide’ dear. ‘Ethnic cleansing’ is whitewashing weaselspeak marketing language to excuse genocide.
I’m talking about every aspect of ethnic cleansing used by Zionism since the early 1900’s, that includes genocide. The books by Ilan Pappe, Nur Masalha, Rashid Khalidi, and even Sara M. Roy
You’re thinking of genocide denial, such as when people say Israel ‘may have committed war crimes’ if even acknowledging it at all instead of calling each and every victim ‘Hamas’ as if that’s some ultimate justification
Oh shit, you quoted Wikipedia. Guess I can’t argue.
The correct word is genocide.
Stop being pedantic. I’m talking about every aspect of the settler colonialist project, from economic to eradication.
Acting like Ilan Pappe was whitewashing history in his book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, when he details the Nakba, is fucking ridiculous.
I haven’t read it, know nothing about the author or their intent. Maybe they used a term they expected to get past censors; maybe they’re a shitlib at heart, maybe the publisher changed it and they were mad as fuck. Plenty of possibilities.
My statement, I believe; stands.
Do you often find yourself standing with your fingers in you ears saying ‘bla bla bla I can’t hear you’ when confronted with a slightly different view point?
It is a genocide, my point is that the Zionist project’s goal of forced expulsion is far more encompassing, both in methods and timeframe. Which historians have gone into much detail about within their decades of works.
No, but then I wouldn’t know if it did; I wouldn’t be able to hear.
Fair point
It’s almost as if English doesn’t have multiple terms for just about everything.
With different connotation etymology fdeep meanings precise contours,yeah!
