Again, there are international definitions as to what constitutes ethnic cleansing but I do not believe there is a premeditated attempt to eliminate the Palestinian population.

I think there is a different issue in terms of proportionality and bombing urban conurbations. What happens when you do that is that innocent people get killed and I do not agree with that. I think we need to be precise in our language.
