=== Israeli–Palestinian conflict ===

{{see also|Holocaust inversion|accusation in a mirror}}
Comparing the [[State of Israel]] to Nazis, or the plight of [[Palestinians]] to that of [[Jews]] under Nazi occupation, has been criticized as trivializing the Holocaust or antisemitic. The [[Anti-Defamation League]] (ADL) accused [[Gilad Atzmon]] of trivializing and distorting the Holocaust specifically in the context of the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]]. According to the ADL, Atzmon invoked the word ''[[Shoah]]'' to describe Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, among other abuses.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.adl.org/main_Anti_Semitism_International/gilad-atzmon-anti-semite.htm |url-status=dead |title=Backgrounder: Gilad Atzmon |publisher=[[Anti-Defamation League]] |date=30 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512011349/http://www.adl.org/main_Anti_Semitism_International/gilad-atzmon-anti-semite.htm |archive-date=12 May 2012 |access-date=2 December 2020}}</ref>

During a visit to Berlin, Palestinian President [[Mahmoud Abbas]] told [[Olaf Scholz]] that "Israel [had] committed….50 massacres, 50 slaughters, 50 holocausts" after he was inquired if he would apologize for the [[Munich massacre]] by Palestinian terrorists. Scholz stated in a message to the ''[[Bild]]'' newspaper that "for us Germans, any relativization of the Holocaust is unbearable and unacceptable."<ref>{{Cite news |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=16 August 2022 |title=In Berlin, Abbas says Israel committed 'holocausts' against the Palestinians; Scholz grimaces silently, later condemns remarks |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/in-berlin-abbas-skirts-apology-for-munich-attack-says-israel-committed-holocausts/ |access-date=16 August 2022 |work=[[The Times of Israel]] |language=en-US |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240715125501/https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/in-berlin-abbas-skirts-apology-for-munich-attack-says-israel-committed-holocausts/?__cf_chl_rt_tk=PA8voYBjBARTloUBsYDBH94TCV1H0Uqrlcbo5fAqon0-1722790360-0.0.1.1-4479 |archive-date=15 July 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=16 August 2022 |title=Palestinian President Abbas skirts apology for Munich attack |url=https://apnews.com/article/winter-olympics-sports-israel-germany-middle-east-1f2c2b601c4e4f48f88dff61b1a55271 |access-date=16 August 2022 |work=[[AP News]] |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240512072107/https://apnews.com/article/winter-olympics-sports-israel-germany-middle-east-1f2c2b601c4e4f48f88dff61b1a55271 |archive-date=12 May 2024}}</ref>
After Brazilian President [[Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva]] compared Israeli actions during the [[Israel–Hamas war]] to the Holocaust, [[Dani Dayan]], the chairman of [[Yad Vashem]] museum, said the comments represented blatant antisemitism and "an outrageous combination of hatred and ignorance," further stating that "comparing a country fighting against a murderous terror organization to the actions of the Nazis in the Holocaust is worthy of all condemnation." Israeli Prime Minister [[Benjamin Netanyahu]] responded to Lula's comments by saying "The words of the President of Brazil are shameful and alarming. This is a trivialization of the Holocaust and an attempt to harm the Jewish people and Israel's right to defend itself."<ref>{{Cite news |first=Lazar |last=Berman |title=Israel livid as Brazil's Lula says Israel like 'Hitler,' committing genocide in Gaza |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-livid-as-brazils-lula-says-israel-like-hitler-committing-genocide-in-gaza/ |date=18 February 2024 |work=[[The Times of Israel]] |archive-url= |archive-date=}}</ref> In November 2024, a keffiyeh-clad woman performed a Hitler salute at a Montreal pro-Palestine protest; afterward, the coffee franchise she ran condemned her "hateful remarks and gestures."<ref name="i353">{{cite web |last=Heller |first=Mathilda |date=2024-11-24 |title=Montreal coffee chain terminates contract with woman videoed doing Hitler salute |url=https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-830423 |access-date=2024-11-24 |website=The Jerusalem Post}}</ref>
=== Post-Communist states and Holocaust memory ===
Line 37:
The double genocide narrative holds that there were two contemporary genocides of equal weight, a [[Nazi]] one and a [[Stalinist]] one. [[Michael Shafir]] calls the double genocide theory a form of Holocaust obfuscation,<ref name="Shafir 2016">{{cite journal |last=Shafir |first=Michael |date=Summer 2016 |url=http://jsri.ro/ojs/index.php/jsri/article/viewFile/798/696|title=Ideology, Memory and Religion in Post-Communist East Central Europe: A Comparative Study Focused on Post-Holocaust |journal=Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies |volume=15 |issue=44 |pages=52–110 |archive-url= |archive-date=}} Quote at pp. 64 and 74.</ref> while Carole Lemée sees it as a symptom of persistent [[antisemitism]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lemée |first1=Carole |title=History-memory of Litvak Yiddish spaces after the Holocaust.

In ''The Holocaust/Genocide Template in Eastern Europe'', [[Ljiljana Radonić]] writes that the double genocide theory proposes the existence of an equivalency between [[communism]] and [[Nazism]]. Radonić posits that this theory and charges of Communist genocide both come from "a stable of anti-communist émigré lexicon since the 1950s and more recently revisionist politicians and scholars" as well as the "comparative trivialization" of the Holocaust that "results from tossing postwar killings of suspected Axis collaborators and opponents of [[Josip Broz Tito|Tito]]'s regime into the same conceptual framework as the Nazi murder of six million of Jews", describing this as "an effort to demonize communism more broadly as an ideology akin to Nazism
