Significant discussion is arising in the wake of 10/7, regarding what is but should not be seen as a negative to any culture: "ethnic cleansing."
In the linked piece is a discussion of how this is playing out in the Middle East today, and the effects it may have on other countries and cultures.
The subject deserves a broader look.
Some will argue "ethnic cleansing" means the Holocaust. This same cohort ironically often denies the Holocaust and will refuse including the Holodomor, against which they never speak, for purely political, not humanitarian, reasons, choosing only one of three modern examples as their baseline. They're ill-informed, wrong and should be ignored.
The complete lack of discussion regarding Armenians shows that, at base, the discussion is about political leanings, not the rights of human beings, making a mockery of the complaints about removing Palestinians from Gaza to those who understand history.
In a broader historical perspective, ethnic separation is how civilizations and cultures formed: like-minded people with similar expectations of behaviors got together to include themselves and exclude others. The others went & formed their own cultures or, in Darwinian fashion, became extinct.
If you've ever wondered why China built their wall, cohort inclusion and exclusion is why: ethnic separation. It's behind every historical defended harbor, walled city, and defended kingdom.
"Ethnic cleansing" has become a disparaging appellation not because of history, where it has been the primary building block of every civilization, but for two reasons, the second of which goes widely un-recognized.
First, because our overlords want us at each other's throats to better control us by determining the level of peace & prosperity within the West. The less peace, the greater the need for a police state and domestic military presence (which we see arising all around us in our militarized police forces, FBI SWAT teams against Republicans accused of thoughtcrime, and the essential ownership of Congress by the Military-Industrial Complex); the less prosperity, the greater the dependence on a (for)ever-expanding government and that police state and that Complex.
Second, it must be noted that the demand to control us, and the militant response by elites (who have the wherewithal to separate themselves) against the separation of non-Western disparate cohorts is the driver behind the push for "diversity," the opposite of how civilizations and societies form, and precisely how they dissolve.
They demand we include and promote those who share few or none of the behaviors bringing together our society, culture or civilization. DIE is a tearing-down of the Great Wall to force disparate cohorts together against their choice, intentionally destroying community.
In short: If our elites did not believe in ethnic cleansing, their war on whites would not be occurring. They are working to exclude us and include others in their new culture, society and civilization, building a societal Great Wall through censorship, cancel culture, DIE, and academia. It will work out just as did their ethnic cleansing of whites from Rhodesia and South Africa.
For reasons one only can conclude come from the overwhelming success of Western Civilization and the relative (China, India, Persia) or complete (Africa, S America) failure of all other civilizations, we in the West have an overdeveloped sympathy for the underdog that has led us to refuse to defend what we have built, or to defend the rights of the non-dominant (women and children: our future) that exist nowhere outside our civilization, while at the same time demanding to export our behavioral expectations to those inside the walls they have chosen to build to exclude those of different behavioral expectations: us. This is the GAE.
The refusal of modern man to grasp perhaps the two main drivers of human history - how we became who we are - does not bode well for our future.
What were these primary behaviors that gave rise to civilization, that, without which, civilization will fall (is falling)?
The first is the recognition that behaviors can differ enough between people to make their co-location impossible; the second the recognition of the need to kill one's enemies, whether at the individual level (execution) or the civilizational level (war).
The co-location issue is behind the walls mentioned above, but also behind Egypt closing its borders with Gaza on 10/8, and Jordan massacring thousands of their Palestinian co-religionists in the 1970s; it's a cohort that has proven it must be excluded by other cohorts across time and space. Excluding Palestinians is an experiential, not a prejudicial - "pre" meaning prior to experience - decision.
Regarding killing enemies, as soon as men of significantly different cultures met in Classical times, greatly accelerated during the Age of Exploration, the more-modern defeated the less-modern in a Darwinian struggle that had to occur.
Those who were able to understand and use natural resources more productively won, those who had not progressed as far, often not past hunter-gatherer, annual seasonal starvation, high rates of mothers dying in childbirth and children not surviving their first few years, lost.
This is as it must be if one cares about humanity.
When the cohort on each side of the behavioral chasm became large enough, war ensued, one side was defeated utterly - think Carthage, which was the norm for millennia - and the more modern civilization and its behaviors, rights, morals, productivity and prosperity... progressed.
In an American example, if a pre-modern ("Native American") woman were dying in childbirth in a teepee outside Cherry Creek (Denver) because we had decided the modern need not defeat the primitive, would we save her and her child with modernity, or let her die due to her cohort's lack thereof?
Modernity - MUST - win if one cares - at all - about human beings.
Throughout the Middle Ages, Europe executed about 1% of its males annually. This removed from the gene pool to-aggressive men - the primary criminal cohort. These too-aggressive men now live to further their genes, to the good of no one.
In war, from its rise and until 1945, the West killed its enemies. Counter-intuitively, once we developed the capability for completely productive warfare, killing none of our own while utterly destroying an enemy intent on our destruction, we no longer chose to kill enemies, to our detriment.
For those in-thrall to cheek-turning (an instruction to a kitchen servant in the face of his master), it's good to keep in mind that we also were told to sell our cloaks, buy a sword, gird it on and follow our leaders into battle with our enemies.
These are the behaviors that created our world. Refusing them only will result in our fall. Civilization, culture, society, peace cannot be sustained between those of drastically different behaviors and expectations ... those who want to kill you.
Good fences make good neighbors. Those who want to destroy you belong outside your fence. Or completely removed, depending on the threat they are to your society and its members: women and children and the men who make their existence possible by defending them.
If we, the white men who built modernity, want our civilization to survive, history teaches that we must exclude cohorts refusing the behaviors of our civilization and those demanding the inclusion of anti-civilization cohorts that must be excluded.
This is a struggle for our civilization itself... for all the marbles.
Our enemies must be excluded. By any means necessary.

In other words, there is no cure for the “cleansing” going on right now. For someone as disgusting as Biden to garner 39% approval is evidence that cleansing is happening. That 39% seems to have set the stage for the final act. Does anyone think busy “shoppers” and the free-loaders understand or even care? “Circus and bread”….sports, Taylor Swift, and free stuff!!!!
