    You forgot to reference all the genocides that have succeeded though

    Gaza and West Bank can easily be completely sieged compared to Algeria and Vietnam

      No, the Palestinians have too many regional allies and means of getting military aid through tunnels. Those regional allies aren't just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts because they know that once Palestine falls, they'll be next on the chopping block.

      An actual successful ethnic cleansing is something like Artsakh. Artsakh was completely isolated politically. They weren't even officially recognized or supported by Armenia, a country that has maneuvered itself into a geopolitical quagmire where the West doesn't really support them despite much pathetic West simping on their end and Russia/Iran don't really support them either. Armenia has no friends and despite this, Artsakh couldn't even rely on Armenia. That's how isolated Artsakh was. And once you factor in Azerbaijan being supported by Turkey, a NATO country, the ethnic cleansing was inevitable.
