Not particularly. They could be descendants of people who lived near the Israelis (Ammonites, Canaanites, whatever), but they are not of Israeli descent.

It isn't name calling,

Engineer, just today or yesterday, caught you, in the Snowden thread, in one of your famous lies.

Israel has not attempted (or even proposed) ethnic cleansing.

But given the Palestinians' unending aggression and refusal to ever make peace, yes it is. The best result can be had by clearing all the Palestinians out of the West Bank and forcing them to relocate to the Gaza Strip.

Hopefully Israel will eventually realize this and act accordingly.

That irony in your posts is quite enjoyable.
