A red herring is trying to divert attention

That's exactly what you're doing. You're saying "Look! Someone else is committing atrocities!!! Let's talk about that instead!!!"

What do you think?

I think that deliberate partial reporting of an event, deliberately leaving out important parts of it, deliberately presenting a small fraction of it as if it were the whole is morally reprehensible. And doing it accidentally suggests incompetence.

And it doesn't matter who is doing it.

Remember, we're talking about the atrocities of the Third Reich here, not somebody else's atrocities. So ... once again: What possible excuse is there for limiting one's discussion of National Socialist death-camp atrocities to approximately half the folks killed there? Seriously: can you even try to come up with a good excuse for it?

I just told you. The Jews are focusing on the damage done to their own community, their own people.

That is not “hiding” or “sweeping under the rug”. It’s not even disrespecting.

It is nothing more than dealing with a great horror’s impact on them.

It isn’t even about someone else committing atrocities. And it was never even presented in such a way. It’s always been presented as a parallel in today’s world with Christians in Syria. It has never been presented as a diversion from the Holocaust, and that is obviously so because both sides of the parallel were always mentioned.
