    Ethnic cleansing is still genocide.

      While both are heinous, they are separate acts.

      • Ethnic cleansing is the forced removal of a peoples from an area.
      • Genocide is the removal of a peoples entirely either through killing or erasing culture.

      There is generally a large amount of overlap between the two however, which is not helped by the lack of a legal definition of ethnic cleansing. What Israel is currently doing is undoubtedly genocide.
