Considering that Israel has only killed, since the start of the last
Intifada in 2000, about 2600 Palestinians (most of whom were armed or
standing around people who were armed and shooting) out of a
population of 8.7 million, you're horribly abusing that "ethnic
cleansing" phrase.

You dishonestly restrict the use of the word, both in time, and in
impact. Ethnic cleansing is the only word to describe the concerted
*60 YEAR* effort to drive Palestinians out of their native land

THEIR native land? ISTR a mosque built on Jewish Temple remains.
In fact,the Jews were there before the "Palestinians" ever were invented.
(most of the "Palestinians" are Egyptians,Syrians,Lebanese,or Jordanian.)
Jews have lived in that area for many thousands of years.It's the ARABS who
want to drive the Jews "into the sea",to use their own words.The Israelis
have Palestinians in their GOVERNMENT,and coexist peacefully with them in
the State of Israel,while no Arab country tolerates Jews living among
them,and certainly not allowing them representation in any Arab government.
And the ARABS are the ones who calle dfor Arab resisdents to flee when they
launched the first of several wars to "drive the Jews into the sea".To
exterminate them.

and Jordan is at least 70% "Palestinian",yet no one is calling for Jordan
to be "Palestine",or even part of it.It was even part of the original
"Palestinian Mandate" created after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire,
-another- Arab government that persecuted the Jews living in that area.
