Indeed.
And also, being less efficient or succesful at ethnic cleansing compared to other (historic) ethnic cleansings doesn't somehow make it OK.
The number of Albanians in Kosovo has also grown and the number killed wasn't "huge" compared to the Holocaust or Holodomor or Armenian genocide.
But it was still a genocide and still wrong.
Or even better, why aren't they even allowed to marry Israeli citizens and live in Israel on that basis?

This is some real, literal apartheid segregation shit.
Theoretically sure, but the discrepancy makes it problematic to speak of of ethnic cleansing in this case. If you steal land for the purpose of getting land, you're probably still committing a crime, but it's not ethnic cleansing because the intend is something different. E.g. greed or the desire to ensure your safety by holding a strategic position (that's why Israel took the Golan heights).
The Palestinian population has similar numbers. Their growth exploded over the last 70 years to present day numbers. Worst genocide ever.
