Okay, I agree with both of these statements.
I think it's more complicated than that.
Let's say that the Great Chinese Famine of 1959-1962 was a vastly great catastrophe than the Holocaust, at least in terms of human deaths.
The Narrative, though, is far worse. "12 million people systematically rounded up and exterminated" is a lot worse than "leaders bought into some crackpot agrarian policies and 45 million people starved to death".
Which is probably why the Jews and Germans still hate Hitler, but the Chinese still remember Mao for the other things he did.
I can also point out that since the Ashkenazim are white, a lot of other white actors get good jobs playing them in movies about the Holocaust. Where is the movie about Rwanda or the Killing Fields?
Nor should you.
Here's the thing. While what has happened to the Palestinians is horrible, and the world should be ashamed, it is not as bad as the Holocaust was. Millions did not die. Millions were displaced, and that was awful, but they didn't die.
Many more millions were displaced by WWII, but those who survived got on with their lives.
I only brought up the Holocaust in relation to the Gaza genocide because of the degree to which it is exploited to commit a real Genocide today (1) and because it is possible the most widely exaggerated, grossly distorted can crassly exploited even in history.
First, the tired, old "6 million Jews" meme has been trumpeted countless times as early as 1900 (2) and "6 million Jews killed" was parroted by Holocaust hucksters long before WW 2 ended.
Next most of the world sees through this grossly exaggerated and weaponized event as only about 1/3 of the world has fallen for the standard Holocaust narrative. (3)
While rarely reported in Western MSM, the fraudulent Holocaust Industry has been caught in countless lies and grossly profitable deceptions. (4), (5).
In spite of this unbridled and widespread fraud, the main Holocaust theme park in Washington D.C. manages to extract over $100 Million from American taxpayers, alone.
Additionally, even Jewish sources debunk the "6 Million Jews" / "12 Million people killed" exaggeration (6) since the world Jewish population actually grew over the war years.
I base my opinions not only on the fact that there were high ranking Jews in the National Socialist government (7) and 25 Jewish Generals among the 150,000 Jews who fought and were rewarded for serving in Hitler's military with the full knowledge and approval of Hitler and the German High Command. (8)
My opinions are also based on having lived, studied and worked in Germany where I lived, knew and / or worked with dozens of Holocaust survivors, German WW 2 military Veterans and other participants and eye witnesses.
Because I was / am fluent in German and many of its dialects, I have also read several of Hitlers speeches, German WW 2 documents and related material that is frequently deliberately misquoted for propaganda purposes.
Surely, you don't think that the Germans were the only ones to use wartime propaganda as Western MSM is brimming with Hollywood's fictional and simplistic WW 2 Holocaust fodder even today.
I find it reprehensible that Western MSM remains more committed to trumpeting fictitious Holocaust propaganda and building more grisly Holocaust theme parks than revealing the enormities being inflicted on Palestine's native residents at this very moment.
Perhaps I find the hypocrisy so repulsive because I spent time in and around Palestinian refugee camps in Southern Lebanon during the '73 War.
It was there that I saw old photos of old homes, farms, olive groves etc that were destroyed and / or stolen by Zionist terrorist gangs who were armed and trained by Germany's SS before and during WW 2. (9)

“In cooperation with the German authorities, Zionist groups organized a network of some forty camps and agricultural centers throughout Germany where prospective settlers were trained for their new lives in Palestine.
