Don't be ridiculous denying the obvious.

There are "settlers" in other occupied territories around the globe & no one calls for their ethnic cleansing.

East Timor
Western Sahara
Northern Cyprus
Syria/Lebanon
Vietnam/Cambodia
Armenia/Azerbaijan
Russia/ Georgia, Crimea
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

There's also China/Tibet, although that began before the Geneva Conventions.

Why do you think no one calls for the removal of those settlers? No one calls for their ethnic cleansing. No one even condemns these other settlements around the globe.

Only the Jews are condemned & are ordered to be ethnically cleansed.

Why?
