The Gaza War was the continuity of ethnic cleansing.

Typically when a people are the victims of ethnic cleansing, there is less of them than there was originally. Given that there are a million more Palestinians now than a decade ago, to call this "ethnic cleansing" is absurd.

It seems you are unaware of the mass exodus of palestinians fleeing from gaza strip and west bank. Israel pretty much destroyed all the infra-structures that palestinians had, and now the population in gaza strip and west bank have massively decreased. That definitely looks like an ethnic cleansing to me, since Israel is successfully either killing or forcing them to leave from palestinian territories.

They have a growing population, shio. Either this is the least successful attempt at ethnic cleansing in the history of mankind, or you don't know what you're talking about. I've posted here long enough to know that the latter is usually the case.

I was wrong that the population of Gaza Strip declining, however it is still much worse than ever. 45% of the population in Gaza Strip are kids of 14 years or younger!! Their parents are killed by the israeli government or die due to the extremely harsh conditions of hunger, no medical help, etc...

But hey, at least Israel is thinking of the diet of palestinians:

Israel's policy was summed up by Dov Weisglass, an adviser to Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, earlier this year. 'The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,' he said. The hunger pangs are supposed to encourage the Palestinians to force Hamas to change its attitude towards Israel or force Hamas out of government.

All praise Israel, the savior of Palestine! Israeli government is always thinking about the children's future:
