    That was ethnic cleansing, even if done by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but also other contemporary events such as Greek-Turkish population exchanges.

    This guy is seeking approval by appealing to libs' moralism, or rather by reassuring them that what the Israeli State is doing is OK actually. Well, people forced out of their homes and forced to move many kilometers away because a state wants to move the line on the ground to a more favorable location might not agree.

    But alas, liberals go by "does this make me feel good or bad?" instead of "what effect will this have?"

      Without it, we would have current Ukraine shit all over entire central-eastern Europe, and not only now but for decades, imperialism would pump serious money ever since 1945 to stoke the conflicts. Terrorism, local wars, all manners of disruption, Soviet Army forced to intervene not twice but twenty times at least. Yugoslavia war would look as a picnic. This is unsolvable by libs because libs don't care about material conditions at all.

      Not to mention if you look at this close, all those were literal decolonisation, especially the East Prussia which was archetypical settler state where Teutonic Knights and later Prussia invented and tested colonisation and genocide techniques used later by Brits, USA, nazis, Israel etc.

      And even the nonexistent Prussia still does bear nazi fruits even today, through its not thoroughly enough liberated successor Baltic states.
