Some 46 percent of Israel's Jewish citizens favor transferring Palestinians out of the territories, while 31 percent favor transferring Israeli Arabs out of the country, according to the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies' annual national security public opinion poll.
In 1991, 38 percent of Israel's Jewish population was in favor of transferring the Palestinians out of the territories while 24 percent supported transferring Israeli Arabs.
When the question of transfer was posed in a more roundabout way, 60 percent of respondents said that they were in favor of encouraging Israeli Arabs to leave the country. The results of the survey also reveal that 24 percent of Israel's Jewish citizens believe that Israeli Arabs are not loyal to the state, compared to 38 percent who think the Arabs were loyal to the state at the beginning of the intifada.

Or maybe the majority of the Muslim world seeking the utter destruction of Israel? Would that fall under ethnic cleansing or genocide?
And NEOAMADEUS, don't forget the "racism and genocidal policies placed into the mouth" of ALLAH, "the clan god" of Islamic Muslims, k?
Shame, isn't it?

Uzi Cohen, a member of Ariel Sharon's right-wing party and a deputy mayor of the town of Raanana, told Israeli public radio on Sunday there was widespread support in Israel for "the idea of ethnic cleansing".
"Many people support the idea but few are willing to speak about it publicly," he said.
Cohen, an influential figure in Likud, proposed that Israel, the United States, the European Union as well as oil-rich Arab states make concerted efforts to create a Palestinian state in northern Jordan.
He suggested the Hashimi royal family in Amman "might view favorably this idea".
Cohen said Palestinians should be given 20 years to "leave voluntarily".
"In case they don't leave, plans would have to be drawn up to expel them by force."

The 100-page booklet includes many proposals. Ra'anana Deputy Mayor Uzi Cohen's ideas include transferring Palestinians to a new state that would be carved between Jordan and Syria, giving the central committee the right to choose the Likud's leader, and increasing the number of MKs to 160.

In a poll of 1,179 people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip conducted by Palestinian Jerusalem Media and Communication Center, 51 percent said the goal of the 20-month-old uprisings should extend to "liberating all of historic Palestine," the territory that includes present-day Israel. Only 43 percent said they would be satisfied with the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank.
Leaders of America's conservative movement have long believed that within the national news media a strident liberal bias existed that influenced the public's understanding of critical issues. On October 1, 1987, a group of young determined conservatives set out to not only prove - through sound scientific research - that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values, but also to neutralize its impact on the American political scene. What they launched that fall is the now acclaimed.

Is ethnic cleansing really an issue or is it an issue because it is being considered in modern times or because of the stigma associated with the ethnic cleansing that took place under Hitler, and others?

There just in favor of relocating Palestinians you cant really compare this to Hitlers ethnic cleansing. 46% aren't calling for the destruction of a people
Im not shocked by this either. Israel has neighboring governments that call for its utter destruction. Thats the goverment saying that not some public opinion poll.
The term ethnic cleansing refers to various policies of forcibly removing people of one ethnic group. At one end of the spectrum, it is virtually indistinguishable from forced emigration and population transfer, while at the other it merges with deportation and genocide.
