uniquely historically bad to warrant its own terminology

Actually in that context Holocaust only refers to the Jewish victims of genocide. To not erase the 5 million other vuctims it's necessary to use the term Nazi genocide.

The thing with the Palestinian genocide is that the Israelis were

killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, but doing it so slowly as to not arouse a response. I mean, it was happening before the current war, especially the "inflicting on the group conditions of life" part. It's truly sick.
