I don’t think there were visible claims of a “genocide” in Jenin, the term is “Jenin massacre”.

What I find curious though is that the Holocaust did not seem to play any major political role in the run-up to the creation of Israel (the problem of refugees obviously played a practical role). It’s not like the nations gathered and for moral reasons decided to award the Jews with the state because of the genocide, thereby coming up with the partition plan. There’s no evidence they were so “sentimental”. See [PDF]

However, for a variety of reasons, that has become the dominant narrative.
