I have read a number of comments accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing, some of them on social media and, surprisingly, even some over at the Conservative Treehouse! A couple of examples:
Israel and predecessors have accomplished a slow moving ethnic cleansing over the last 100 years with some not too subtle terrorist and ethnic Lawfare means, news and history avoided by a complicit or owned media.
An honest review of the last 100 years is that Israel and its predecessors have repeatedly, and aggressively thumped the Palestinians in a slow moving ethnic cleansing.
The answer to this point of view?
Palestinians population has gone from 1.2 million in 1948 to 6 million today.
Life expectancy to 75 years. Obesity rate to 20-25 percent.
The Palestinian population is growing at a rate of 2.4% per year, which is 33% higher than Israel’s growth rate.
If Israel is attempting Palestinian ethnic cleansing, they must be really bad at it. There are more than two million people living in Gaza, and none of them are Jewish.
The Arab population of Israel is large. In 2019, the official number of Arab residents in Israel was 1,890,000 people, representing 21% of Israel’s population.
From Wikipedia:
The Arab citizens of Israel are the largest ethnic minority in the country. They comprise a hybrid community of Israeli citizens with a heritage of Palestinian citizenship, mixed religions (Muslim, Christian or Druze), bilingual in Arabic and Hebrew, and with varying social identities. Self-identification as Palestinian citizens of Israel has sharpened in recent years, alongside distinct identities including Galilee and Negev Bedouin, the Druze people, and Arab Christians and Arab Muslims who do not identify as Palestinians.
Most Arabs in Israel are Muslim.

When someone refuses to believe what is so or insists on believing something that is not so, it is highly improbable that any reasonable response/argument will be effective in persuading them to think otherwise.
When facts have been reinterpreted to fit someone’s chosen conclusion, anyone intending to have a conversation re other viewpoints is pretty much at their mercy. My opinion.
Perhaps there’s an applicable variable of the saying – “you can have your own opinion but you can’t have your own facts”.
We are so swamped in new norms that simply are not so (such as – men can get pregnant, you can print money to have money to spend without consequence, you can choose to not punish crime in order to have less crime). Some have adapted very, very well to the opportunities presented by this corruption of reasoning and are very skilled at making use of it.
Distorted perceptions and deception often/usually do not respond well to “more light”; honest efforts to correct what is being asserted are not productive.

That is very true for many, but some people are enlightened by facts that they have never seen before. Why haven’t they seen them before? Because they are purposefully hidden by most of the media. Saying what is so is helpful, imo.
