Correction: "The latest battle in a war that has gone on since the early 20th century with periods of intense violence between the majority Arab population and the minority Jewish population...started in response to a vicious day of terror by Hamas..."

This didn't start on 7 October 2023. Subtract 100 years and you'll get closer to the start of hostilities. One could argue those were minor battles and the war "started" in 1948, but any later date is clear whitewashing of Israeli ethnic cleansing for (at least) the better part of a century.
