I simply asked a question and didn't define the term, which is why i specified only the expulsion of German minorities in non German countries and not the mass killings Russia and many Eastern block countries executed.
If you want to consider post-war expulsion as "ethnic cleansing" then cool, but what you have accept that expulsion is part of war. People leave by choice when they realize their side is losing, if they're smart, and a lot of Palestinians weren't. Hundreds of thousands left by choice and those that stuck around did so foolishly or with the belief that their side would win, also foolish. If that's "ethnic cleansing" then so be it, but now it's your term to apply that far more liberally and without such a stigma. So Ben Shapiro supports ethnic cleansing. Cool. So do I then and so do you under the right circumstances, right?
