Jews were guests in the absolute majority of nations they were kicked out of. They were not part of the native population or the culture nor did they play significant positive roles in those nations. But yes, ethnic cleansing would be the correct term for it IF you consider Jews an ethnic group which sometimes they are and sometimes they're not. They can't really decide. Otherwise it's a religious cleansing. And their religious beliefs were the main reason for the evictions most of the time not their ethnicity.

Immigration to Palestine was done by the UK against the wishes of the native population. When the UK restricted immigration Zionists resorted to terrorism. When they declared independence they committed countless massacres and forcibly displaced 700k+ and did not allow them to return. And all of that wouldn't have been possible if they didn't receive massive support from the outside, mainly the US. If not for the US Israel wouldn't exist.

Everyone can decide for themselves if those situations are comparable. Or if Israel is deserving of their sympathy.
