Actually, “in favor of perpetrator” is not in the working definition of ethnic cleansing. I added it for clarity for those who routinely don’t get it, even though this is not that hard to get it.Alas, all in vain!

Gaza was 100% ethnically homogeneous before Oct7. Gaza becoming less homogeneous, for whatever reason, doesn’t make any other ethnicity more homogeneous in Gaza. It makes Gaza less homogeneous. Duh!

By your logic, any occupying army crossing any border, no matter how and where and under what circumstances it happens, is committing ethnic cleansing. Hell , by your logic, any Mexican family crossing Rio Grande into Texas is committing ethnic cleansing! By your logic, they are the perpetrators, and they are making Texas more homogeneous in their favor.

How fucked up is that?
