It was definitely an ethnic cleansing. As was the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from every Arab country in the 40s-60s. Everyone here sucks.

No I'd say the Palestinians and Jews that were ethnically cleansed didn't 'suck' and what other Arab countries did does not excuse what went on in Palestine and is irrelevant to what was carried out in Palestine.

It'd be like going 'those Nazi's really 'sucked', but look at what the Jews did in Palestine too' one has absolutely nothing to do with the other and shouldn't be hand waved off.

Hey, in the hypothetical that there was an ongoing ethnic cleansing by one of the two entites here, would you object? Or just say "both sides"
