We have terms like ethnic persecution, ethnic discrimination, pogroms and apartheid to describe the various levels of oppression. We don’t need to resort to using the “cleansing” rhetoric of the fascists
Ethnic cleansing is more specific than persecution and none of the other terms you mention encompass mass deportation.
Ok, well how about "mass deportation"
Sure, and what should we call it when it's a combination of methods like in the Nakba, for the purpose of clearing an area of people of the ethnicity in question, whether by killing, deporting, or scaring off?
Nakba was genocide
It involved genocide, but displacement was also an important element.
I feel like you are playing obtuse word games in order to cling to a term which, as a brown "dirty" person, constantly reminds me of the white urge to purge me from existence to "cleanse" it
