My points are being distorted and what I'm trying to say is getting lost - but I'll make it very clear that the deaths from the holocaust were horrific on a massive scale.

Seems like the Jews have always been society's whipping boys. I'm glad to see their population rising, although I didn't realise that the holocaust had made such a dent on their numbers (yes 6 million is a lot but in the grander scheme of things it's not what you'd call a massive figure).

Which you have tried to justify later by saying lets put it into context of world population.
I find that quite distasteful personally, and however you paint it, a statement like that trivialises the holocaust. Its like saying so what if a child gets abducted and killed, in the context of x billion children in the world thats not so bad.
Your post totally contradicts what you said when you write :

We are not distorting what you say, there is no other way to interpret what you have said either. You try to backtrack out of what you said but maybe you should have applied more thought in your original posting.
