No, it is precisely the definition. You just support it in the case of forcibly transferring the Jews out but dont like Jews deciding to do what they were allowed to do explicitly under the Mandate, which in leftist world means that word meanings must be changed so that they align with the positions you want.
The forcible transfer of a population to make room for a different group of people is called what?
People exercising their rights to move where they want is called what?
You have inverted the two, condemning voluntary choices by individuals as a “transfer” while pretending that advocating the forcible transfer of Jews out of the territory is not precisely the definition of ethnic cleansing.
The Mandate was terminated on the 15th May 1948.
Trying to use it to legitimize situations that have occured 19 years after that fact to the present is ridiculous. A little recap
1948 The British terminated the Mandate and thus it ceased to have any legal bearing
1949 Israel becomes a UN member thus accepting the requirement to be bound by the UN Charter.
1951 Israel signs the 4th Geneva Convention thus accepting the requirement to be bound by it.
1967 Israel occupies territories as a result of a war it initiated and has since built illegal settlements all over the place and has sought to annexe the territory of others ALL in flagrant violation of the agreements it voluntarily agreed to be bound by.
