You know, if Israel wanted to ethnically cleanse someone, they wouldn't still be around. Do you not understand how bombs and fire work? You may not like what their restraint looks like, you may argue for much more, but the level of hyperbole you're engaging in is pointless.

Would it sound more reasonable if we say "Ethnically cleanse at the rate that the international community allows"?

It would still be a pretty grotesque insult to victims of actual ethnic cleansing.
