Not necessarily. Genocide is the mass murder of a particular group. Ethnic cleansing is the removal of a particular group from an area. Now, you absolutely can ethnically cleanse an area through genocide, but you can also warn them to leave the area "for their safety" and once they're out never let them come back.
"The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group."=="The mass extermination or expulsion of people belonging to one ethnic or religious group by those of another."
So all you did was copy-paste, no real reading; or you'd have seen you made Nakoichi's point for him.
I think the distinction is that ethnic cleansing is a more general term and genocide is a more specific term. An ethnic cleansing can theoretically not involve murder though this is all a bunch of semantics lawyering and I'm sure conversationally they are often used interchangeably.
That is correct. Ethnic cleansing is the act and genocide is a method. The reason it is important to make the distinction is because somebody, in this case Israel, can ethnically cleanse an area without necessarily committing genocide. Because there was no mass murder, no genocide, the media tends to shy away from using the term ethnic cleansing even though it definitely happened.
Jack wants to occupy the house. Jack scares the inhabitants away with threats of violence. Jack occupies house. That's ethnic cleansing without genocide.
Jack wants to occupy the house. Jack kills the inhabitants of the house. Jack occupies house. That's ethnic cleansing with genocide.
This is probably my favorite sentence published by the media so far. Al Jazeera pulls no punches.

I would offer one criticism "ethnically cleansed" is just a polite euphemism for genocide.
