> Settlers came to form an ethnostate

Zionists like most national movement of the same time goal was to form an ethnostate, just like the palestinian national movement goal was to form an ethnostate, or the czech, polish, ukraine, etc that's pretty obvious

> People don't leave their homes voluntarily

People flee war torn zones, that's not the same thing as ethnic cleansing.

> The orders given to the Zionist militia commanders were literally to "cleanse" that village

Yes, that happened, that doesn't change the fact that most of the population fled on their own accord, that a very sizeable part of the palestinian population remains in Israel to this day, and that the Palestinians were trying to cleanse the Israel population as well (and were successful in a few instances)

> So what? what's your point?

My point is that the horrors you cite are nothing compared to what your very own country was founded on (and that's an educated guess on where you are from, or all countries of the world founding story really)
