It's interesting how the BBC and other left media are reacting to the elimination of those Hamas members. When Ukrainians eleminate and assassinate Russian journalists there is little or no reaction, sometime some small celebrations. Mind you that Russian journalists act mostly as propagandists, while the one ones that Israel eliminated are members of Hamas military wing. In case of Gazan journalist Anus that Israel tore him up yesterday, there are videos of him jumping on the head of an Israeli murdered on Oct 7th.

You forgot to mention the 70 years of persecution leading up to october 7, anyone living under aparteid, seeing his/her familly suffer, can make bad decisions and ressort to violence. This does not change the fact the origin of said violence is Israel's colonisation and persrcution of the Palestinians.

And you forgot the 1300 years of Arab colonisation of Judea and Samaria, including mass slaughtering of Jews on multiple occasions?

“Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does it matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: We have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?”

Most Arab leaders in the region have no problems with making peace with Israel - it's actually only the terror organisations who refuse - Hamas, PLO, Iran, Huthis ...

And there is actually no confusion about the "Palestinians" in the Arab world - as Egypt annexed Gaza, they made it pretty clear that they will not allow an Arab state there and also that they will never accept Gazans as their equals. Same happened in Jordan after annexing the West Bank. No one really wants them in the region, because Palestinians are THE source of instability and they cost the Arab countries actually way too much. And basically the only reason why they support the Palestinian cause is the chance for political emancipation of the united Arab world from the western dominance.

That 'most' Arab leaders are happy to operate as clients of the US and are just as susceptible to race science nuttery as you are doesn't really mean much.

Anas Al-Sharif conveniently ignored Gazans’ protests against Hamas throughout the war.

Repeatedly and deliberately misspelling his name suggests to me that there aren't any such videos.
