For what I understand,ethnic cleansing is like the forcible deportation of a population or?I don't know if I'm right though but that's what I understand it and I find it really a crime against humanity.I don't know if holocaust is ethnic cleansing,I'm not sure but I think I will never agree with this and I hope It will never exist anymore but what I wanna know is,It is really necessary to that a country or a place will under go Ethnic Cleansing?

It's also not just hitler but also Stalin from Russia.During That time where Germany and Russia is at war,Both Leaders killing people.The bad thing is,Hitler was highlighted and Stalin was not as Russia is so Big and hide the bodies in time before they caught.

yeah, there are many such people, dictators mostly, who massacred people. hitler was just one of them and an example. stalin too. maybe stalin and his russia were fighting with the Allied Forces against hitler thats why he got lucky to escape without much notice. and hitler's was a more famous dictator and killer. thats why he got more attention than his russian counterpart.

According to the merriam-webster dictionary ethnic cleansing is:
: the expulsion, imprisonment, or killing of an ethnic minority by a dominant majority in order to achieve ethnic homogeneity
I for the most part do not agree with this. Killing is obviously wrong for any reason other than self defense. There was terrible ethnic cleansing in Rwanda in the early 1990's. Its horrific. I've read many books on it. Also see Hotel Rwanda the movie.
I only agree with deportment based on illegal immigrants. That is the person has entered the country illegally. I don't believe their ethnic background should matter at all. We are all human beings and are all connected.

insulin no of course I hate the very idea, no country should kill thousands of other people simply because they hate that race. God made us all so why kill our own brothers and sisters. ethnic cleansing is sickening and cruel and so is deportation. Of course it is not a necessary thing, what is necessary as that we all live together in
peace and harmony.Ethnic cleansing is just prejudice on a huge
scale. no one has the right to kill any race for any reason.
we seem to be a pretty easy going civil forum here on Mylot if we can all agree to be civil and even kind to each other, why cannot our various countries also agree to live side by side with other countries.?

Ethnic cleansing is no more than genocide. It is a terrible ridding of a whole race of people. It is one of the worst things that occur in our society. I hope we can all keep it from ever happening again.

I don't think it's a reasonable solution to any problem that a country is facing. People are people. We are all human beings. Everyone has a right to live even though they are born from a different ethnicity. I've read about such acts and watched these things on films and no matter what reason a particular leader has, there will always be another way to resolve issues without killing another of your own.

This is a discusting topic. God created all people. God is no respector of persons. I say the only people that should be cleansed from this earth as you say are the ones that think there should be such an evil thing as ethnic cleansing or anything that is a representative close to that type of thing. Love each other as I have Loved you says the Lord God Almighty!
