History did not begin October 7th, 2023. We are capable of looking at prior events to see that the story is not so clear cut.

When are you thinking history began? 1948?
For the part of the history relevant to the topic, you have to go back to at least November 2, 1917 [1].

From the same page: "1901 the Sublime Porte (the Ottoman central government) gave Jews the same rights as Arabs to buy land in Palestine and the percentage of Jews in the population rose to 7% by 1914"
