At least according to this study, almost all Israelis are monsters who openly support genocide.

I wouldn't be surprised if the results of a poll for actual genocide would be the same, but expulsion is not genocide. I really wish people would stop diluting the meaning of genocide at every opportunity.

    Forced displacement and ethnic cleansing is a core component of genocide, you're making a distinction without a difference.

      I am somewhat late, but you're completely wrong. To engage in metaphors, cutting someone is a core component of surgery. This does not make surgery, even if failed and lethal, murder. To engage your point, genocide does not require displacement, hence displacement cannot be a core component of genocide. Genocide is the eradication of a people. Moving a people does not eradicate them. There is no reason to conflate the two. (There is, but it's mostly for political reasons).
