Stop me from what?

How does this excuse Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?

Considering that Israel has only killed, since the start of the last
Intifada in 2000, about 2600 Palestinians (most of whom were armed or
standing around people who were armed and shooting) out of a population
of 8.7 million, you're horribly abusing that "ethnic cleansing" phrase.

On the other hand, if the Palestinians would stop bombing buses and
coffee shops, a lot of that death and destruction would stop practically
overnight. But since several different terror groups in the Palestinian
population have announced that they want nothing much besides every
Jewish person dead...

(That's what "ethnic cleansing" really means, you know. It's a modern
European phrase for the outmoded "genocide.")
