Ya gotta love those conservatives priorities. They think people should just lay down and die in front of ethnic cleansing.

The Israelis know it's ethnic cleansing, excuse it with the Old Testament. The Rest of the World know it because their news isn't censored. It's only Americans who don't understand it, due to having been brainwashed since birth.

A very little bit of research will show the Israeli intent and methods - an army repressing a civilian population to the point they have to resort to suicide bombers, and still lose 3 people to one.

In light of this authoritative, lucid and comprehensive U.S. definition of ‘terrorism’, Sharon’s words take on a new light. It so happens that the facts are exactly the opposite to his claims. Contrary to Sharon’s spin, it is a matter of record that throughout the history of the State of Israel, the regime has consistently foisted wars of terrorism on the indigenous Palestinians in order to secure the State’s expansion and consolidation. As early as 1940, the noted Zionist Yossef Weitz, Director of the Jewish National Fund affiliated to the World Zionist Organization, wrote that:

“It should be clear for us that there is not room for two peoples in this country. If the Arabs leave it, there will be enough for us… There is nothing else to do but to remove them all; we mustn’t leave a single village, a single tribe... We must explain to Roosevelt and all the heads of friendly states that the land of Israel isn’t too small if all the Arabs leave and if the borders are pushed back a little to the north, as far as the Litani, and to the east, on the Golan Heights.”[3]

It is therefore not the Palestinians who desired to expel all the Jews from the region. On the contrary Jews and non-Jews had lived in peace for thousands of years in the land of Palestine. It was the foreign Zionist movement which at its inception envisaged the complete “exile” of the non-Jewish Palestinian people from their ancestral homeland, to make way for the new Zionist regime. Israeli historian Professor Benny Morris of Ben-Gurion University records the little known fact that: “Ben-Gurion clearly wanted as few Arabs as possible to remain in the Jewish state. He hoped to see them flee. He said as much to his colleagues and aides in meetings in August, September and October [1948].”[4] What was the principal methodology Israel planned to use to ensure the expulsion of Palestinians from their own homes? Nothing less than brutal, violent, indiscriminate, cold-blooded terrorism. Professor Morris elaborates that:
