Technically yes. But October 7 IMO, was essentially a prison riot, an explosion of rage at the decades long brutalization of the Palestinian people by especially, the IDF. The mostly young Israeli victims were apparently oblivious to the danger of partying next door to a maximum security prison, Gaza, and to their own identity, to the imprisoned, as their oppressors. To believe that this one act of rage was intended as the opening of a sustained attempt to eradicate the Jewish population of Israel/Palestine, strikes me as denial of the truly calculated genocide being waged against the Palestinians. Who have been the indigenous people of that region for centuries. In this sense the better historical analogy is the attempted extermination of the Native Americans by the European colonizers.
