I feel like a core part of Western media normalizing Israeli violence is that they get to determine when incidents or conflicts or whatnot started, as that determines whether an act was out of nowhere or not. I mean, just think about how folks have tried to minimise the 1619 Project with ideas like the 1776 project or 1492 or what have you.
