Ethnic Cleansing - Israel, Palestinians And The Jews Of The Middle East And North Africa

      Israel gets routinely accused of ethnically cleansing Palestinian Arabs. Many Palestinian Arabs, including Palestinian Arab Islamist organizations like Hamas and Islamic Jihad, routinely call for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Jews. If Israel did to Arabs what Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and many others openly proclaim they want to do against Jews - slaughter and drive out all the Jews- there would be no Arabs living between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea.
       Israel is an imperfect state. It faces the genocidal ambitions of millions of Jew hating Islamists the world over, backed by fanatical Jew haters on the right and left living in the west. No nation faced with the constant threat of destruction and genocide would be anything greater than what Israel already is. But this does not free Israel of the obligation to seek peace, protect all civilian populations as best as possible, and to continue to provide religious freedom for all.
      The majority population of Israel consists of Jews and their descendants that were ethnically cleansed and driven out from Arab Muslim majority and from other Muslim majority lands. It is disingenuous to speak about Palestinian Arab ethnic cleansing by Israel and ignore the mass ethnic cleansing committed against Jews by Arab Muslims, including by Arab Muslims now called Palestinian.
      Jews were ethnically cleansed from Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Algeria, and more. These Jews and their descendants know that they have no right of return. They cannot go back to such places as Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria, and so forth. Now that they they were ethnically cleansed and forced to flee to Israel, the only country that accepted them - they are told that they must be ethnically cleansed again to make room for Palestinian Arabs.
