The genocide in Palestine cannot claim to be "The Holocaust" because that specific term has been exclusively reserved for a specific Jewish genocide. However, you agree that there has been genocide in Palestine so I can't understand why these atrocities should not be regarded as perpetrating A holocaust, without the definite article
I can only think there are important political, religious and cultural reasons why someone would reject the description in this instance.
