Isn’t genocide denial a crime in Germany? Does that only apply to one genocide? (The Holocaust?) Or does it also apply to, say, the Armenian genocide too? And, if so, does that it mean that the only genocide it doesn’t apply to is Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people?

It only cover the Holocaust they committed in Europe, no other ones, not even those in Africa committed by European colonialists.

No, Holocaust denial is a crime and belitteling the Holocaust is a crime whenever it leads to public disturbance (based on https://verfassungsblog.de/holocaust-meinungsfreiheit-und-sonderrechtsverbot-bverfg-erklaert-%C2%A7-130-iii-stgb-fuer-verfassungsgemaess/).

@aral It seems you can get up to 5 years in prison for denial of the holocaust (WWII).

It's called "Volksverhetzung" (incitement to hatred) in German.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksverhetzung

I'm not sure if that applies to other genocides.

@aral germany acknowledged the armenian as well as the jezidian genocide. worst case we call it a genocide after it had happened. which would be sad. very.
