Column argues October 7 cannot be separated from decades of subjugation
Original: “The Illusion of a Starting Line: Why October 7 Cannot Be Divorced from Decades of Subjugation” by Iqbal Jassat in The P
Iqbal Jassat, writing in The Palestine Chronicle, argues that treating October 7 as the starting point of the Israel-Palestine conflict is an illusion that ignores decades of Palestinian subjugation. The piece calls it the urgent duty of civil society to recognise the longer historical context, framing the attack and its aftermath as consequences of prolonged occupation rather than an isolated event. The argument is circulating widely among pro-Palestinian online communities.
Why now: Ongoing debate over how to frame the historical context of October 7 amid the continuing Gaza war.
