Calling anything but the Holocaust genocide relatives it and is therefore anti Semitic.

I'm sorry but then you have to explain to these people that the word genocide is not synonymous with the Holocaust, and our laws (because that is no doubt where they snatched up the term "relativise") work accordingly. With my heartfelt empathy, I'm sure it feels like banging your head against a wall sometimes.

I've tried to explain that, I really did. And yes, the wall metaphor fits

I’ve tried to explain that

Sorry for the nitpicking, but no: you did explain it. Of course whoever it was meant for will resist but they might get around to it later, or some onlooker might have gotten a lightbulb moment. It's the best we can do. 🤗
