It means, that at the time of the election (2006) almost half of the Palestinians supported Hamas, which officially had antisemistic principals.
Third, Sinwar absolutely has positive views among Palestinians.
You linked a highly biased news, so unfortunately I can’t refer to that.
As a reminder, Sinwar was the official leader of Hamas. Every school that teached terrorism, every old man, women, children and babys, every tunnel that was digged under civilians, everything that happens, and the consequences of this war, by Hamas, are his responsibility.
I disagree that Israel is commiting genocide. There are millions peaceful Palestinians who live peacefully. This is not a genocide.
“Hamas has governed the Gaza Strip in Palestine since its takeover of the region from rival party Fatah in June 2007.”
The Palestinians had no option but to choose between an antisemitistic group at the time called Hamas (by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter) or a group who officially claims that no other human can be Palestinian, besides Arabs, which is called Fatah (by https://irp.fas.org/dni/osc/fatah-charter.pdf)
