Jews died because of violence resulting of Jews ascending HH”B and Jews died from violence resulting from Grynspan’s act.
And, certainly, you cannot argue that the specific Jews who were murdered directly in response to the timing of the ascension to HH”B or directly in response to the timing of Grynspan’s murdering of a German diplomat, that those same specific Jews would have been murdered anyways if not for those actions by Jews. (Even if the Jew haters would have done it at another time anyways, it would not have been at that time resulting in the murder of those specific Jews at that time.) And even if we assume you’re correct and it would’ve happened at a later time, the “excuse” the haters used may have resulted in a greater ferocity or a larger number of victims than otherwise.
My guess is at this time it is best not to even give them an excuse
