[Marxism] Yes, he did [Re: No, he didn't [Re: ISRAELI MINISTER THREATENS "HOLOCAUST"]]

[Jeffrey Thomas Piercy, El Pato Comunista]

As the e-mail you replied to said: "A report on the BBC News website 
headlined 'Israel  warns of Gaza 'holocaust'" noted that in Israel the 
word "holocaust" --  shoah in Hebrew -- is "a term rarely used in Israel 
outside discussions of  the Nazi genocide during World War II.'"

On Wikipedia, it redirects to Holocaust.

The Jerusalem Post said "The Hebrew word shoah, which means "disaster" 
or "conflagration," is primarily used in Israel to refer to the Holocaust."

The LA Times said "The Hebrew word shoah, or holocaust, is not used 
casually in Israeli society. Occasionally, it is employed to denote a 
massive disaster."

The only place I found Anon's point made was this:
"Tom Gross, a media affairs columnist for the conservative National 
Review Online, said there was a major difference between 'a shoah' and 
'THE shoah.'

"'It is like confusing a 'white house' with 'The White House,'' Gross 
wrote."
