the holocaust is the singular act of thinking the idea of especially antisemitism through (i.e. all the takes antizionists hide behind "Zionist" instead of saying what they actually mean: jews) and putting it into gruesome efficient action. Its more than "we just murder some people", its even more than "we deliberately kill a lot of humans in a war to make a statement". the holocaust was the industrial-scale planned and executed extermination of especially jewish people. Its documented why, its antisemitic in nature without the shadow of any doubt. Genocide is defined that this exact goal of the extermination of an entire people has to be stated (dolus specialis) and also be enacted upon. WORDS HAVE MEANINGS. You cant just call everything genocide. And those "scholars" who claim its a genocide and compare it to the Holocaust are absolutely ridiculous scam artists. yeah, it sounds so convincing when these people blabber about "look even this jewish dude here agrees with me", but its not making false statements suddenly right. No amount of claims of knowdlege on the holocaust makes the pathetic attempt of explaination why gaza is even worse(!) remotely viable. Its simply a pretty basic authority fallacy. There is a reason why genocide is its own category. there is a reason why there is a definition to it. there is a reason why it really does not apply here.
the targeted goal of the nazis was the total erasure of the entirety of jewish people (and other groups they deemed not worthy to live, but jews were always on the bottom of every list of 'lebensunwert' people), full stop. no ifs or buts. SIX MILLION people. Not 70.000 of which we dont know how many were hamas combattants. six million people died in the holocaust. if you think thats comparable even by the raw numbers, you are absolutely mental.
The actual reason why so many people think they are "allowed" to make this comparison isnt because its remotely comparable. Its not because this is the sole and only historic example to draw parallels to. the holocaust-inversion is a known antisemitic trope. its sole purpose is to inflict damage on jewish people, its purpose is to ensure and to legitimatize the murder of 'Zionists' (jews), because if Nazis and Zionists are the same, arent we morally obliged to kill them to stop 'da genozide'? Its also a way to retroactively say that the nazis were kinda right in killing jews. Even if they say 'we need to attack and fight against zionism', it is what they really mean. Its about the extermination or at least complete submission of the jewish people. Its a vile, transparent play. it really is. People claiming to care about the Holocaust dont really care about it, people claiming to be anti-fascist are full of sh*t if they DO NOT call out the vile nature of the holocaust inversion trope. there is no "bothsides" on this. It is not a valid way to critizise Israels political or military actions. i have no respect for anyone who ran around calling everybody a nazi for 10 years straight the moment you disagreed to any political stance of them and now they run around and shout the same phrases you would expect at a neonazi rally.
Comparing the two is not remotely sane. its insane. i am dead serious: if you compare these two, you are either completely mentally deranged or a nazi. no amount of "oh i only hate zionists, i love the jews"-BULLSHIT will change that. period. end of story.
So on the one hand we should "never forget" so nothing like the Holocaust ever happens
But on the other hand the Holocaust is so unique that nothing can be compared to it
