Media Afraid to Call Ethnic Cleansing by Its Name (fair.org)

Trump is woefully ignorant of international law and the law of occupation. Forcible displacement of an occupied group is an international crime, and amounts to ethnic cleansing.

Precisely my thought. Why give it a nicer name than the butchery of a people?

Independent media has no problem doing so. Nor do they face repercussions.

Only mainstream big conglomerates refuse to use the words. And only for Israel. If is painfully obvious why.
