I don't remeber the exact source, think it was more than one and also from people whose family were victims that they did call it the Shoa and before that the devastation of the Rhineland communities in 1096 was so termed. So it's now the "HaShoa HaKtana" and what the Nazis did "HaShoa HaGdola". Little and Big Holocausts respectively.

The bit about most of European Jews being converts from the Khazars was me quoting LittleHawk.

I do try and read as many sources as possible, in English and Hebrew.
Will try and find you a bibliography on Arab nationalism in the 19th and 20th centuries so you can see for yourself how much the use of Arab has changed. Start with Fromkin's "A Peace to End all Peace". Most histories of Egypt and of early Muslim era will confirm what I was saying about the Copts. Lewis and Glubb spring to mind. For a good look at them and the rest of the Christian minories in the Mid-East today, try Dalrymple's "From the Holy Mountain".

Robert Kaplan is a rotten source for all things Balkan.
