It's ridiculous to refer to it as a 'holocaust', especially if you are aware of the etymological roots of the word.

The Shoa was not the only holocaust. The word refers to any massive loss of human life.

No, I was not referring to the Shoah, but to the Greek roots of the word. There is a reason why the Shoah is called the Holocaust.

And I wouldn't put a fertilized egg on par with a 30-year old Jew. That's insulting.
