Israel! Get in Line, Please

"The colonialists have apologized for colonialism but they also need to pay reparations to the respective nations and a memorial day each year would honor their victims."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An Israeli draft resolution, which it hopes will be adopted by the 191-member General Assembly during its 60th session opening next month, proposes January 27 as a day to commemorate holocaust victims, marking the day in 1945 when Russian troops liberated Auschwitz, the largest Nazi death camp.[1]
British Deputy Ambassador Adam Thomson told Kofi Annan in a recent letter that more than 30 European countries already support Israel's plan. Israeli Deputy U.N. Ambassador Daniel Carmon said: "It is a universal resolution, a nonpolitical remembrance of the most atrocious event that happened in the last century – it should be acknowledged by the United Nations."
The United Nations held a special session earlier this year to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the holocaust. But Israel would like to see the world body devote more resources to the subject, including worldwide education programs, encouraging the preservation of Nazi camps and rejecting denials the holocaust took place.
Undoubtedly, Jews suffered genocide at the hands of Hitler. Irrespective of anyone’s denial or acceptance, holocaust did take place. However, that is not something that never happened in human history before or after the World War 2.
The Question is: What about:
the annual Colonial Holocaust Day, or
the annual Native American Genocide Day, or
the Genocide of the Native People of all of the Americas Day, or
the annual Armenian Genocide Day, or
the annual African-American Genocide Day, or
the annual South African Genocide Day, or
the Continental African Genocide Day, or
the Vietnamese Genocide Day, or
the Japanese Genocide Day, or
the annual Australian Aboriginals' Genocide Day, or
the annual Tazmanian Genocide Day (which was actually successful in completing its mission),
and of course,
the annual Palestinian Genocide Day,
and on and on and on?
Above all, why not start with the latest genocide that took place before our eyes
