As Hilberg put it, the Holocaust was NOT the most well-documented genocide:

It has to be a very good candidate. The Nazis were serious about keeping records. I don't know if Stalin or Mao where.

And they all lost their lives. Their lives were all cared for and respected. But why is it that we concentrate so much on the lives of a -- a group of -- among the 60 million?

Because there was a specific deliberate genocidal campaign against that group. Maybe the all the others don't get enough attention. Also the atrocities of Stalin (mostly before WWII) and Mao (after) probably don't get enough attention compared to the Nazi's atrocities. But that's a reason to be aware of the other atrocities, not to downplay the Holocaust.

But when somebody questions or criticizes the Zionist regime, there's so much reaction.

Ahmadinejad went far beyond mere criticism.

As for actual criticism Israel gets much more criticism than most counties would for an equivalent action.

There are five million displaced Palestinians

Now there aren't. There may be 5 million when you combine displaced Palestinians with their descendents, but there are not 5 million that where displaced.
