Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, with the intent of making it ethnically homogeneous. The forces applied may be various forms of forced migration (deportation, population transfer), intimidation, as well as mass murder and rape.
Ethnic cleansing is usually accompanied with the efforts to remove physical and cultural evidence of the targeted group in the territory through the destruction of homes, social centers, farms, and infrastructure, and by the desecration of monuments, cemeteries, and places of worship.
Initially used by the perpetrators during the Yugoslav Wars and cited in this context as a euphemism akin to that of the "final solution", by the 1990s the term gained widespread acceptance in academic discourse in its generic meaning.
Ethnic cleansing vs. genocide
The crimes committed during an ethnic cleansing are similar to those of genocides, but while genocide includes an intent at complete or partial destruction of the target group, ethnic cleansing may involve murder only to the point of mobilizing the target group out of the territory. Hence there may be varied degrees of mass murder in an ethnic cleansing, often subsiding when the target group appears to be leaving the desired territory, while during genocide the mass murder is ubiquitous and constant throughout the process, continuing even while the target group tries to flee.
Using the Genesis3D engine, the National Alliance created the game to be provocative and promote their white supremacist messages. The game has been controversial, with the Anti-Defamation League taking particular issue; it has been ranked several times as one of the most controversial games ever created. It was planned to be followed by a long line of sequels, but only one, titled White Law, has been released.
Overview
Ethnic Cleansing is a standard, short-length first-person shooter set in a single level. The player can select a neo-Nazi, a Skinhead, or a Klansman to control. They run through a ghetto that has been compared to New York City and shoot African-Americans and Latinos, before descending into a subway system to kill Jews. Finally, the player reaches the "Yiddish Control Center", where a fictionalized version of Ariel Sharon, then Prime Minister of Israel, is directing plans for world domination. He sports a rocket launcher; the player must kill him to complete the game. The heads-up display contains a map of nearby enemies and a counter of remaining ammunition.
The source of the term is uncertain, but the Encyclopedia of Swearing stated the most reasonable and most likely origin of the term is the one proposed by Leo Rosten, according to whom:
According to Rosten, U.S. Jews continued to sign with an 'O' in place of an 'X' for several decades, resulting in the nickname kike spreading wherever they went.
A variation or expansion of this theory published in Our Crowd, by Stephen Birmingham, postulates that the term "kike" was coined as a put-down by the assimilated U.S. Jews from Germany to identify eastern European and Russian Jews: "Because many Russian [Jewish] names ended in 'ki', they were called 'kikes'—a German Jewish contribution to the American vernacular. The name then proceeded to be co-opted by non-Jews as it gained prominence in its usage in society, and was later used as a general derogatory slur."
In June 2011 Kike joined Real Betis B, in Segunda División B. He continued to compete in the third division in the following campaigns, representing Sanluqueño and Cádiz CF.
Still in La Liga, Kike again appeared rarely for Valladolid in the 2008–09 campaign. Subsequently he was sold to UD Salamanca in late July 2009, for three years, with Valladolid having an option to rebuy in the first two.

Israel ‘ethnically cleansing’ north Gaza says former Israeli defence minister
In an interview with Democra TV, former Israeli chief of staff and defence minister Moshe "Bogie" Ya'alon accused Israel of engaging in "ethnic cleansing" in the northern Gaza Strip.
Ya’alon, who was dismissed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2016, has since emerged as one of Netanyahu’s most vocal critics.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported on Saturday that the death toll in Gaza has risen to at least 44,382, with more than 105,142 Palestinians injured since the beginning of Israel's military offensive on 7 October 2023.

After Ethnic Cleansing Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, Why Did Azerbaijan Get to Host COP29?
Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt
We continue our coverage of the COP29 U.N. climate summit hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan, wth a look at Azerbaijan's treatment of the country's Armenian minority population. Last year, the Azerbaijani government ethnically cleansed Armenians from the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, leading to the forced expulsion of some 100,000 Armenians from the enclave and gruesome human rights violations, including cultural erasure and the torture and mass killing of civilians. There are at least 23 known Armenian political prisoners currently held in Azerbaijan and many more who are not identified. These colonial policies against Armenians "started long ago," says Armenian climate and antiwar activist Arshak Makichyan. He calls out the silenc...

The “Ethnic-Cleansing” Mainstream Media REFUSES To Talk About
Even today, Josef Stalin is making people miserable. One hundred years ago, he was the "People's Commissar for Nationalities" in the Soviet Union – just one of the many positions he held on his way to the top of the Soviet hierarchy. Stalin did not have an easy job because the new "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" was a group of smaller ethnic, cultural, and religious groups. Often, these groups were bitter historical enemies. Two were the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic and the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic. Despite what most people think, Stalin would listen to the opinion of others, especially in the early years of the USSR, and he listened to leaders from both Armenia and Azerbaijan – then he made his decision – and that was that – even that early in his career, no one wa...

Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, with the intent of making it ethnically homogeneous. The forces applied may be various forms of forced migration (deportation, population transfer), intimidation, as well as mass murder and rape.
Ethnic cleansing is usually accompanied with the efforts to remove physical and cultural evidence of the targeted group in the territory through the destruction of homes, social centers, farms, and infrastructure, and by the desecration of monuments, cemeteries, and places of worship.
Initially used by the perpetrators during the Yugoslav Wars and cited in this context as a euphemism akin to that of the "final solution", by the 1990s the term gained widespread acceptance in academic discourse in its generic meaning.
Ethnic cleansing vs. genocide
The crimes committed during an ethnic cleansing are similar to those of genocides, but while genocide includes an intent at complete or partial destruction of the target group, ethnic cleansing may involve murder only to the point of mobilizing the target group out of the territory. Hence there may be varied degrees of mass murder in an ethnic cleansing, often subsiding when the target group appears to be leaving the desired territory, while during genocide the mass murder is ubiquitous and constant throughout the process, continuing even while the target group tries to flee.
