    That was ethnic cleansing, even if done by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but also other contemporary events such as Greek-Turkish population exchanges.

    This guy is seeking approval by appealing to libs’ moralism, or rather by reassuring them that what the Israeli State is doing is OK actually. Well, people forced out of their homes and forced to move many kilometers away because a state wants to move the line on the ground to a more favorable location might not agree.

    But alas, liberals go by “does this make me feel good or bad?” instead of “what effect will this have?”

    East Prussians were expulsed because their country had just started WW2, committed the literal Holocaust and then rightfully got its shit kicked in. And this isn’t event the first time i see an Atlantic council ghoul compare the displacement of Palestinians to that of people from the former easternmost parts of Germany (parts which were, btw, stolen from Polish and Baltic people in a settler colonialist expansion move to begin with). This is just another round of comparing Palestinians and the literal OG nazis, and once more it boils down to “well the literal fucking NSDAP was not as bad as these people whose hospitals have just been bombed to shit”.
