The holocaust wasn’t just defined by degree, it was also defined by callous dehumanization.
Right now, Israeli political leaders are arguing that their soldiers didn’t commit rape because only humans can be raped. That, to most people, is a Nazi level of dehumanization. Additionally, The imposed famine and the destruction of water infrastructure and hospitals will cause mass death that puts this in the ballpark of, but not exactly equalling, the holocaust.
Of course current events don’t mirror Nazi Germany exactly- but the suffering and death evoke the Holocaust. It’s a historical horror. If you don’t find the comparison helpful, that’s a valid opinion, but I think calling it denial is unfounded.
