    I love how you constantly refer to it as the holocaust while insisting it wasn’t the only one. So the holocaust was a settler colonial genocide. Even if that is true (and I at least see where it is coming from), it doesn’t make every settler colonial genocide a holocaust.

    So what exactly are your criteria to call it the holocaust? What are the Israelis doing that the nazis did too but not the settlers in the Americas, Australia and Africa?

      oh, do you not like the implication that “settler colonial genocide” was the same thing as the holocaust? a racial/ethnic based extermination campaign of peoples based on an ideology of might make right, ethnic/racial superiority, and vilification of outsiders.
