This war started in 1948 No I cannot change the history books, hence my post: This incursion fell on the day of Sukkot, a Sabbath day. The attacks initiated the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, almost exactly 50 years after Operation Badr and the greater Yom Kippur War of 6 October 1973. Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups named the attacks Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (or Deluge; Arabic: عملية طوفان الأقصى, romanized: ʿamaliyyat ṭūfān al-ʾAqṣā),[1] while in Israel they are referred to as Black Saturday (Hebrew: השבת השחורה)[18] or the Simchat Torah Massacre (הטבח בשמחת תורה),[19] and internationally as the 7 October attack.[20][21][22] Edited December 28, 2023 by Bkk Brian 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) If you're talking about the CONFLICT rather than THIS WAR, that is another matter. At the heart of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, anthropology matters as much as history | The Hill Who is indigenous to Israel and Palestine: Jews or Arabs? The answer depends on how we interpret history. Radically diverse starting points invoked by both parties have led to the terrible conflict we are witnessing.

Said it on another post - the driving force is to 'put it in context', to 'understand' it, to normalize it. If it's just another attack in a chain of attacks it doesn't need to be addressed in a different manner.
