We hear this talking point now repeated in unison, "HISTORY DIDN"T START ON 7TH OCT."
"Free Palestine" uses that to shift responsibility for violence against Israelis,
not only for being murdered that day, but any other day in the past,
and the entire conflict, i.e. "the Jews made them do that"...
This bears a simple question -
What was the Arab excuse for violence before Zionism?
Although less talked about because of the magnitude of the Holocaust,
it was the plight of the Jews in the Levant, following Arab pogroms
throughout the Caliphate, that initiate the Zionist organization.

Damascus affair - Wikipedia
According to Hasia R. Diner, "For the Jews, the Damascus affair launched modern Jewish politics on an international scale, and for American Jews it represented their first effort at creating a distinctive political agenda. Just as the United States had used this affair to proclaim its presence on the global scale, so too did American Jews, in their newspapers and at mass meetings, announce to their coreligionists in France and England that they too ought to be thought of players in global Jewish diplomacy."[23]
