What is going on with Sen. Fetterman?
He obviously has come to his senses.

Unless his state had a large population of Palestinians and others sympathetic to the Gaza plight who were deeply concerned at the ethnic cleansing being conducted by Israel.
In which case, it would be callous and cruel mockery.
Ethnic Cleansing?
Man, you are one  sick dude.

So what do you call slaughter of over 20,000 civilians, demolishing half the structures in a nation including most of the hospitals, driving 1.9 million from their homes and towards refugee camps on the southern border, blocking relief to the point that half of the population is facing starvation and 80% malnourished, and shutting off water and electricity lines?  Is there some nicer term we can use to paper this over?

The ethnic cleansing is, and has been, the aim of the Arabs, not Israel.

Ethnic cleansing: Rendering an area ethnically homogeneous by using force or intimidation to remove from a given area persons of another ethnic or religious group.

Ben-Gvir, along with other far-right figures, has called for voluntary mass emigration of Palestinians from Gaza and for the return of Jewish settlements, which Israel dismantled when it withdrew troops from the territory in 2005. The Biden administration is opposed to any such scenario.

The ethnic cleansing is, and has been, the aim of the Arabs, not Israel.

Indeed, from 1948 they started wars to clearly, by their own words..."Drive Israel [and thereby the people], into the sea".
Today they chant "from the riiver to the sea".
Nothing could be more clear.

And to shift the topic so that he doesn't have to do the mental gymnastics of defending the conduct of Israel in Gaza.  Which is, as Larry posted, ethnic cleansing.

Well, no it is not under any definition. On the other hand From the River To The Sea certainly is a clarion call to Ethnic Cleansing.
Arabs are the largest minority group in Israel and they live in peace with the Jews.

Six Day War 1967...

Israel responds to a build-up of Arab forces along its borders by launching a preemptive aerial attack against Egypt. Jordan subsequently entered the fray,...

#####

Now that would've been genocide/ethnic cleansing..."kill the Jews", "drive the Jews into the sea", "no more Jews".

The built up Arab forces were celebrating their impending victory, cheering footage on tv etc.

Israel, smarter than the partying Arab forces, sent up its jets while Egypt was having breakfast...and blew Egypt's air force to 'kingdom come'.

The build up of forces surrounding a border followed by bombardment and invasion constitutes ethnic cleansing in your view. That is straight forward and in accordance with international law. I think the ICC will use your definition when prosecuting Bibi for the war crimes he has so far committed against the Palestinians in the service of propping up his fading political career.
