McGentrix, of course deniers of the holocaust Israel is carrying out against Palestinians would deny they are deniers. No holocaust happening right?

It makes it appear as though you have no clue what so ever of what you are talking about.

"hol·o·caust
n.
Great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire". What Israel has done to Palestinians for almost 60 years meets that definition.

old europe, You're wrong. Look at any dictionary that expands the definition of "holocaust." The Nazi holocaust against the Jews is but one example. Words are not limitied to one example.

old europe, I'm very familiar with Hitler's holocaust. I even know which families and corporations profitted from Auschwitz and what role they play in the present day fiasco. I'm intelligent enough to know that Israel is pulling a holocaust, genocide, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians right now. I also realize that the perpertraters of this present day horror are offended by those who call it by what it is. They'll say anything to cover their butts. I'm offended by today's mass murderers who use Hitler's holocaust as some kind of defensive shield. WW2 was a horror. And Gaza is a horror. It's like OJ screaming racism at those who say he killed his wife. Israel should hang her head in shame, tear down that Wall and let some clean water into Gaza. That would be the Jewish thing to do.

The word "holocaust" can be applied to what Japan did in Asia since the 1930s, and what Genghis Kahn did in Europe. I'm sure there are other events that can be called a "holocaust."

Imo Hamas has done a great deal since their election to bring about 2 states and Israel has thwarted that visciously time and again.
