"The holocaust isn't a unit of measurement"

Meanwhile Biden (and basically every zionist media outlet) on October 7th:
Eh. When this is done to a specific ethnicity I agree. The Soviet peasants quickly forced large numbers of kulaks to the east without much support and I wouldn't call it a genocide because they weren't threatening any ethnic or cultural group
Perhaps.
Still generally a bad thing to do. I'd argue that was one of the Soviet Unions bigger Ls. Forced relocation rarely goes well, even when there's some justification for it.
I'd argue much larger Ls were actually centrally directed policies of ethnic relocation such as the deportations of Crimean Tatars or Koreans.
The deportations of Kulaks happened at a time of need in which forced expropriation of the land by the peasants was imperative to the rapid industrialization NEEDED to fulfill the economic plans that enabled the extremely fast industrialization of the USSE which ultimately saved the world from Nazism. Furthermore, those deportations were mostly decided by local soviets of peasants who had suffered under the thumb of said Kulaks for decades, and said Kulaks fought back against collectivization as a class. It was an act of class warfare, not an ethnic cleansing.
