What do you think it’s provoking? Because it sounds very much like your position is that inviting David Duke to speak provoked a military attack, even in part. Not only would this not be recognized as provocation that justifies this response by any legal, ethical, or normative standard, but it is in line with the justifications terrorists like the ones who attacked Charlie Hebdo use.
And if you don’t believe it’s provocation under these terms, why bring it up or question anyone who rightfully believes it isn’t?
Is it OK for Hamas to attack Israel because people marched in Jerusalem chanting “Death to Arabs?” Would that be considered valid military provocation to you?
