Ethnic cleansing isn't genocide and vise-versa. Genocide is very specifically about murdering a group of individuals for their shared characteristic, not displacing them.

In this case, the Palestinians and other groups want to genocide the Jews. The Jews seem to mostly (or smaller groups within Israel at least) want to ethnically cleanse the non-Jewish Palestinians from modern day Israel.

A hypothetical genocide—founded on racist believes about Palestinians–does not justify an actual ongoing genocide. And yes this is a genocide, pretty much everybody agrees on that now, you are simply wrong about the definition here.
