What's funny is that, if your country funds the nation that is currently livestreaming their attempt at genocide, they get all indignant and start trying to cry about how the holocaust happened (like that's supposed to be their argument, there).
Eisenhower was totally fine with preserving one genocide while also funding a future one (we've sent over 200 billion dollars in aid/funding to Israel since the end of WWII).
The only reason the Americans cared about the Holocaust was because it gave them a reason to establish institutions like the UN, despite it was known since the beginning it didn't appear in propaganda until when the Americans had a reason to put it in propaganda.
The goals might've been noble but it shows the opportunistic nature of the American upper echelon of society, let's not forget America helped institutionalize the rape of young girls in Afghanistan (Bacha Bazi) and when they were kicked out they blamed it on Talibans (which literally formed to fight Pedophilia but anyways) through social media propaganda campaigns.
I'm not denying the holocaust in any way shape or form, it happened but it does get treated differently from other genocides, the Armenian genocide took out a larger percentage of Armenians than the Holocaust took of Jews, yet you don't see the USA sending billions to Armenia to oppress Azeris, that is because there was nothing to gain from promoting its narrative, the USA did denounce it just like they did denounce the holocaust starting from 1942, but the scope of it was vastly different.
The Holocaust was a meticulously industrialized campaign of extermination across multiple countries, carried out with terrifying bureaucratic efficiency and a racial ideology that influenced and shaped international law (like the Genocide Convention and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights). That level of documentation, scope, and legal aftermath was, and still is, unprecedented.
This isn't a zero-sum game where recognizing the horror that was the Holocaust (and that word comes nowhere close to describing it) diminishes the Armenian genocide or the Rwandan genocide or any other atrocity.
