Israel is a passenger train hurtling off a cliff driven by an insane evil train conductor as many of the passengers attempt to scramble to the front and defeat the evil train conductor so they can speed the train's hurtling trajectory off the cliff up, what a living nightmare.

The vast majority of Israeli society support the ethnic cleansings, they aren't trying to stop it
Its spelled 'genocide' dear. 'Ethnic cleansing' is whitewashing weaselspeak marketing language to excuse genocide.
Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making the society ethnically homogeneous. Along with direct removal such as deportation or population transfer, it also includes indirect methods aimed at forced migration by coercing the victim group to flee and preventing its return, such as murder, rape, and property destruction.[1][2][3][4][5] Both the definition and charge of ethnic cleansing is often disputed, with some researchers including and others excluding coercive assimilation or mass killings as a means of depopulating an area of a particular group,[6][7] or calling it a euphemism for genocide or cultural genocide.[8][9]
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!
Israel isn't at risk of destruction, and most of the people in Israel are fine with the direction they're headed.
Who says this is a literal cliff and not a metaphorical precipice of inhumanity?
Verb tense and publication century.
Also they're all either rapusing prisoners or training puppies to rape prisonwrs, while trying to crash the train
Are... Are the passengers that are trying to stop the train in the room with us right now? ?
"Our apartheid democracy" vs. "Our apartheid dictatorship"
100% Occupied Palestine has always been a shit show. From the day the land was stolen out from under the people living there to make it.
Seriously.
can't call it democracy if half the population isn't seen as human and don't get to vote
can’t call it democracy if half the population isn’t seen as human and don’t get to vote
"More democratic oligarchy vs. less democratic oligarchy" if you prefer (though I could quibble about the meaning of democracy) but the effective message is the same. "These shitheads are right to not want the less democratic option, but are missing the broader fucking issue that is leading them to the question in the first place"
I'm not quibbling about definitions of democraticies, it'll be hard to figure out a definition for it that includes Israel. apartheid and democracy are mutually exclusive.
Tbh I don't want Netanyahu to go bc then we'll probably end up with someone from Otzma or Mafdal as PM (or some other Kahanist like Almog Cohen) and they are even crazier racists. Personally I have mixed feelings about this.
What a timeline. Trump makes most everyone hate and abandon the usa. Netanyahu makes most everyone hate and abandon israel.
