Are you implying that the goal, either directly or indirectly, of the entire Middle East outside of Israel ISN'T ethnic cleansing? I'm pretty sure the second Israel can't or chooses not to stand against Hamas as strongly as they are, they'll be targets of pretty much every other nation in the region. The world hates jews, particularly that region. Both sides are absolute disgraces to humanity, and I'm not willing to call a blatant act of terrorism on either side in ANY way justified.

Why lump Palestinians with what corrupt governments installed by the West (like Israel) hundreds if not thousands of kilometers away have done?

We already know how Palestinians treated Jewish migrations prior to Israel's creation. When Europe was persecuring jews, Palestinians were teaching Jewish refugees how to farm (because in many parts of Europe, they weren't allowed to).

But your "we have to massacre Palestinians, because what if we don't, have you not considered they may massacre us too???!!". This colonial mindset is nonsensical.
