Yeah, you keep saying this. I'm wondering what the point is.
The point of which aspect? That there is a special name for the nazi genocide against Jews? It doesn't even matter in this context, because the term does not appear in the laws. The German law for example refers to all crimes against humanity committed under Nazi rule. Also, the term is used by critics of the laws and even holocaust deniers themselves.
