Actually very unlikely to be more than a handful of Holocaust survivors anywhere in the world now - and none of whom would support the murder/slaughter/genocide of Palestinians.

Literal living survivors? Sure, very few. But trauma is easily, often (almost always?) passed down through generations and can also be culturally ingrained. The children/descendants of holocaust survivors, have, I think, legitimately some share of that trauma. And culturally, I would say, Israel has an abundance of it.
Fair enough, your comment - there are hundreds of thousands of Australians of First Peoples descent living with that kind of trauma. Though I don't see any of them going around on genocidal slaughters of others.
True. There are indigenous peoples throughout the Americas (US, Canada, much of South America, and elsewhere too I'm guessing) also descendants of that sort of genocidal trauma. But in Palestine the killing was both more recent and ongoing even before Oct 7.
Here is a link showing the ongoing atrocities of the Israeli regime, only in the year prior (2023) to Oct 7. And lest you question the motives/political slant of the source, I would emphasize that it comes from Jewish Voice for Peace.

(tl/dr: 2023 was already (before Oct 7) "the most deadly year on record for Palestinians in the West Bank")
I agree with everything you say here.
