I agree with the overall definition, but one of the examples is used to shut down criticism of Israel’s actions that fit the definition of genocide.
The holocaust is the genocide that most western countries are familiar with, and most criticism that mentions the current actions fitting the definition of genocide are accused of falling under this umbrella. Yes, terrible people have pretty much poisoned that well by using “Jews are the real Nazis” which is unquestionably antisemitic and what the example is referencing.
Unfortunately it also means that any criticism that includes the actions of the current Israeli government meeting the definition of genocide is assumed to be a comparison to Nazis without them ever being named or intended to be used as the comparison.
