Now I know you didn't even Google it because no. You're very wrong.

Searched it, and it looks like all usage of the term is from the Zionist lobby. Not surprising, because they use the holocaust as justification for occupation and genocide in Palestine.

They surely do abuse the term, but not always. Which don't change the fact that banalisation of genocide, not necessary only holocaust, is a form of genocide denial - genocide here, genocide there, genocide for everyone, one more, one less, real or aspulled in Langley...

This here is clear example as the one guy above posted the table and got immediately destroyed in next comment - Ukrainian atrocities against Donbas definitely have most of the marks of genocide, and Ukraine definitely is trying to spin tale of "russian genocide" on Ukrainians partially to hide the fact they were shelling civilians for 8 years.

Analogy between Israel and Palestine is coming to mind very quickly, but the roles aren't as libs imagine them to be. To get a full picture imagine a third country attacking Israel.
