The term "ethnic cleansing" wasn't invented until the troubles in former Yugoslavia erupted, but the removal of Arab Palestinians from what became Israel in 1948, the destruction of the physical record that they had ever existed, and the sustained refusal of their return very cleary merits the term.

If the West Bank is considered to be "as much a part of Israel as Israel proper" this of course would definitely undermine the claim of Israel to legitimacy, in the light of the failure to provide the West Bank inhabitants (apart from settlers) with political and civil rights.

However my point was not that the analysis I presented here was necessarily adequate or true, it was that it cannot be properly rermed "antisemitic".
