The Israel–Palestine conflict didn’t start on 7 October. It didn’t start in 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948, when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine.—Description of Pappe’s 2024 book, A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict
