There have been many, many atrocities on the level of the Holocaust, both before and after WWII. The American genocide of Native Americans was on a par, the American Holocaust of Vietnamese was another. The American terror bombings of Germany and Japan, the German and Russian holocausts during WWII. The recent African genocides, equaling in number and ferocity the German.

And yet we are reminded over and over and over about the Jewish Holocaust, not about the rest. A cynic would say it is to keep American public opinion thinking Israel is a poor underdog, on the verge of "being driven into the sea" and keeping the money flowing in the form of foreign aid to support the suppression of the Palestinians.

And that cynic would be correct. Israel is not the nation she was 65 years ago. Time to cut her loose, hopefully to learn to be a civilized, good neighbor.

And I'm in favor of equal time for Holocausts. The German treatment of Jews was inexcusable, as has the treatment by the Jews of the Palestinians, the Russians of the Germans, the Europeans of the Native Americans, the Americans of the Vietnamese. Etc.
