True. There are indigenous peoples throughout the Americas (US, Canada, much of South America, and elsewhere too I'm guessing) also descendants of that sort of genocidal trauma. But in Palestine the killing was both more recent and ongoing even before Oct 7.

Here is a link showing the ongoing atrocities of the Israeli regime, only in the year prior (2023) to Oct 7. And lest you question the motives/political slant of the source, I would emphasize that it comes from Jewish Voice for Peace.

(tl/dr: 2023 was already (before Oct 7) "the most deadly year on record for Palestinians in the West Bank")
