A (further) removal of Palestinians from their land is the definition of ethnic cleansing, so no I would hope they wouldn't be supporting that.

That is not how I would characterize giving a couple million Palestinians, who are apparently mostly kids, a better quality of life.

They do have the right to decide if they accept refugees, but the justification is inconsistent and odd. Do the countries accepting refugees from Ukraine support ethnic cleansing there? Or same for any other conflict?

There also a similar weird gulf between the shouts about 'genocide' and the refusal to allow any to escape. Someone who truly believes that should always allow for refugees. I guess most people making these claims don't really believe them and except Israel to maintain reasonable-enough treatment.
