It’s irrelevant if you are using it as the sole barometer of whether something constitutes genocide or ethnic cleansing, or a basis for justifying Israeli actions today.
The very existence of the word Holocaust proves that the general population does have a sliding scale of atrocities, whether you do or do not.

It’s a caveat that justifies and excuses the killing of innocent aid workers for the flimsiest of reasons, at the lowest of confidence levels with no immediate risk to Israel or Israeli assets in the occupied territories.
