27. This article isn't about "desires to use terms other then holocaust' it is about holocaust denial.

I'm really not trying to be arguemenitive, but I don't see where in any of these cited articles you're getting half of this stuff. The Palesitnians aren't asking to call the holocaust by another name (And just for the record, holocaust is NOT the proffered term in Israel, the proffered term is shoah.)

There is nothing in "The Holocaust is a pack of zionist lies" that indicates that this arguement is about the word you're calling the holocaust.
Unless you're talking about Palestinians not mentioned in these articles and about issues that are completely unrelated to these articles (because these article are clearly straight up Institute for Historical Review holocaust denial), if you want to do that I think you should start another thread.

I would be sure to join you there, because I find the topic fascinating.

On edit: From what I can gather no one is banning the term, just removing it from government textbooks, take that for what you will. (Again I don't support it, but the government is hardly required to show differing viewpoints in textbooks, it is just a very good thing when they do.)
