Displacing civilian population by means of terror (barrel bombs, starving etc ) is ethnic cleansing.
I am truly dumbfounded by your ignorance and lack of anything that is even considered a coherent and logical argument . Lets look at the actual definition of ethnic cleansing:
Ethnic Cleansing | Definition of ethnic cleansing by Merriam-Webster
- the expulsion, imprisonment, or killing of an ethnic minority by a dominant majority in order to achieve ethnic homogeneity
In all war zones people flee, by your ignorant and twisted interpretation of the term 'ethnic cleansing' every war involved ethnic cleansing. Terrorists surrendering and fleeing is not ethnic cleansing (by no definition), nor is the decision of the terrorist's family's to also flee considered ethnic cleansing.
Most people fleeing the fighting are heading to government controlled areas not the terrorists shit holes. Lets closely look at what the definition of the term ethnic cleansing includes: "killing of an ethnic minority by a dominant majority" the majority of Syria is Sunni, the majority of the military is Sunni amazing. As for the other two examples of "expulsion, imprisonment". No one is expelling civilians, most are merely fleeing the violence; furthermore, no one is being imprisoned unless you are a terrorist or aiding terrorists.
The overwhelming majority of rebels are Syrians. Only relatively small Nusra has some 30% foreigners, but these are not Nusra.
I asked a very specific question and you deviated. Again how do you know those dead bodies that were pixelated were even Syrian? Unless you personally checked their ID's you are again making things up that you can not prove.
As for your statement of "
overwhelming majority of rebels are Syrians". There is nothing concrete to back that claim. The last estimate is that there are
at least 30000 foreigners fighting in Syria, enough to form an army corps. This is just estimates that are likely based off of tracing people's passports, online activities, ect. There are likely thousands more from bordering countries such as Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Lebanon that quietly crossed into Syria without having to travel, thus with no passports or very little trace evidence there is no real solid numbers. As for numbers of "rebel" or terrorists fighters, that too varies wildly, ISIS numbers are anywhere from 20,000 to all the way up to 200,000 fighters.
