Israel ethnically cleansed during 1948 independence war, and not everywhere.

No, only 90% of the country. Oh, and then again through 1956. And then again in '67.

What was the world's response then?

Fuck, what's the world's response to the ongoing genocide in China?

FUCK, what's the world's response to the invasion and genocide perpetuated by Russia?

The idea that we'd all band together and shun a country until the genocide ended is not backed by evidence. Especially not since a third of the US thinks Israel has to exist for their prophesized end times to come about, and for that reason, supports them unconditionally.

Is that why US supports them? Lol never thought about it that way

It's definitely why a significant chunk of the US supports them, notably a lot of the Bush administration support had that kind of haze hanging over it. Israel's government knows this, too, but they (probably rightly) figure that long term this is pointless masturbation and their goals align for now so they've been playing nice with the end-times worshippers.

Israeli support is paramount among the religious right wing movement in the US, specifically for this reason.
