Here's what Merriam-Webster has to say about it. It is obvious that we
can speak of the Palestinian holocaust, the Bosnian holocaust, and so
on.

Not at all. Herzl and Hitler emerged from the same racist mold. Nazism
is a racist, fascist master race ideology of apartheid hate that seeks
to impose itself as an absolute ruler on foreign lands. So is zionism.

Foreign? As in a different nation? When you look at the world from
