Perhaps - oppression eventually needs an outlet. I’d push back on something had to be done though. Consider the treaty of Hudaybiya, while not an exact parallel, despite being unfair and unjust, allowed Medina years of stable growth and for the message of Islam to spread. The treaty required Muslims to be sent back to the Quraysh (despite being persecuted) if they tried to make Hijra to Medina. Many were left in limbo, and caused Quraysh problems as a result but that only worked out favourably in the context of the accord being in place. Without the accord, all could have been held complicit - including women and children.
