If a bunch of refugees flee roaming Jewish folk running around trying to murder them (like Muslims fled India and Hindus fled Pakistan during Partition as folks of each religion roamed around trying to murder people of the minority faith) in 1948 and refugees flee the 1967 war, fearing for their safety, and then they're not allowed to return to their homes, that's ethnic cleansing. If you're constantly being pushed off your land and your home in order to be replaced by settlers of another faith, that's also ethnic cleansing.

P.S. Fuck the British (of that time) and their fucking imperialism.
And fuck the Hindus and Muslims and Jews who participated in the ethnic cleansing.
This goes both ways:

Nearly 1 million Jews got displaced, exiled, or forced to flee. This was done purely because Israel was created. Many islamic countries are extremely antisemtic and were waiting to do this for a long time, but they didn't have the justification until Israel was created. The thing is that these Jewish communities, while oppressed and always under the threat of violence, have managed to form their own communities in a lot of islamic countries for centuries. They all of a sudden found themselves being kicked out of their countries, many with no possessions, to a country they had nothing to do with.
