Israel has roughly 2.000.000 Arabian citizens. They descent from 156.000 Arabs who stayed in Israel after 1948. This must be the least successful ethnic cleansing of all time!
Indeed.
And also, being less efficient or succesful at ethnic cleansing compared to other (historic) ethnic cleansings doesn't somehow make it OK.
The number of Albanians in Kosovo has also grown and the number killed wasn't "huge" compared to the Holocaust or Holodomor or Armenian genocide.
But it was still a genocide and still wrong.
Or even better, why aren't they even allowed to marry Israeli citizens and live in Israel on that basis?

This is some real, literal apartheid segregation shit.
Theoretically sure, but the discrepancy makes it problematic to speak of of ethnic cleansing in this case. If you steal land for the purpose of getting land, you're probably still committing a crime, but it's not ethnic cleansing because the intend is something different. E.g. greed or the desire to ensure your safety by holding a strategic position (that's why Israel took the Golan heights).
The Palestinian population has similar numbers. Their growth exploded over the last 70 years to present day numbers. Worst genocide ever.
You may want to look up what a genocide is. It definitely does not require the complete extermination of a people, even by the self serving UN definition.
And the population of the Uyghurs was rapidly on the rise until just a few years ago - especially compared to the Han-Chinese population. That is not an ethnic cleansing as well then, right?
What an idiotic comment. It's like saying the Armenian genocide didn't happen because there are more Armenians now than before.
Away with your logic, here we are convinced that Israel is literally Hitler.
