There is no ethnic cleansing in Israel and the West Bank - this is why - opinion
Statistics show the opposite, with an Arab population boom prevalent in the West Bank.
The article argues that there is no ethnic cleansing occurring in Israel and the West Bank, contrary to accusations made by the Palestinian Authority and echoed by anti-Israel voices worldwide. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics' data shows that the Arab population within Israel has grown significantly since 1948, with a staggering 445% increase since 1967 under Israeli rule.
This growth rate is unique among Arab populations and far exceeds the population growth of neighboring countries. The article attributes Israel's success in integrating Palestinian and Israeli Arab populations to improvements in healthcare, agriculture, and overall quality of life, which have led to decreased infant mortality, increased life expectancy, and economic growth.
