> I'm not trying to deflect, but I do find it interesting that just 2 months ago, >100K Armenians were permanently displaced from their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh where they've lived for literally millenia, and I saw essentially no coverage of this in Western media

Strange, I saw a lot of coverage of it in Western media when it happened (and a kot today, because of an apparent diolomatic breakthrough.)

Its true that a lot of the coverage during the event was colored by relating it to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, Armenia’s status as a CSTO ally of Russia.

> So my question is, given that ethnic cleansings are not uncommon in the recent past, and that the Palestinian Nakba is not even close to the worst case, why is it basically the only one that anyone seems to care about?

In the West and the US specifically, the role of Israel and the local governments degree of positiive engagement with Israel creates a rather different context to most ethnic cleansings elsewhere in the world.
