Ethnic cleansing is not just the active removal of a people by force, it is also creating conditions that necessitate their displacement. Every single Ghazzawi who has been displaced to Egypt or elsewhere as a result of this genocide is a victim of ethnic cleansing unless their unconditional right of return is afforded to them, which likely it will not be. Keep that in mind.

I just get weary of every time a Palestinian family is helped to flee Gaza seeing that framed as a ‘success story’ or a happy ending. These people were ethnically cleansed from their homeland by Israel. That is a tragedy. It is only a ‘success’ in that they live to see another day. The conditions which were manufactured specifically to make their displacement an existential necessity should’ve never been imposed upon them in the first place. They should not have had to flee their homeland with the likelihood they will never return to escape a holocaust. I need you all to understand that. It’s a happier story, yes, but it’s still a fucking tragedy.
