Especially from my German perspective, comparing the Shoa and another massacre is to trivialise the mass slaughter on six million jews.
And from my German perspective acting like the Holocaust is entirely its own thing and ephasizing that it cannot repeat itself no matter what trivialises it more than any lukewarm comparison could. It’s unfortunately a common sentiment but a dangerous one because if it’s just a historical fact and completely detached from the present then why should anyone except historians care? Shutting down any comparison to current events does nothing except show everyone what a virtuous, guilt-ridden German you are. Focusing on the aspects of the Holocaust that were not unique and could happen again/are happening again would be more productive.
I never said an organized genocide with more than six million victims can’t happen again. But it didn’t so far and won’t happen in the current Gaza-massacre. I explained why you really shouldn’t compare the holocaust and Gaza and I don’t see the need to explain it again. Also I won’t discuss anything if you start personally attacking me.
The death toll and methods of extermination are two out of many factors.

You want to wait until 6 mill perish before allowing anyone to start drawing comparisons? Wouldn’t it make sense to start earlier so people see the gravity of the situation before everyone’s dead?

You repeated it a bunch of times but I can’t find anything that resembles an actual explanation.
