why do they think that ethnic cleansing = population decrease? is hasbara made up of highschoolers? when you have an indiginious population massively replaced, that means you have “cleansed” that place of that indiginous population. here’s the wikipedia verison for the libs:

“Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous.”
