I've looked for the "Gaza thing" quote you referenced in order to understand the context, but can't find it. Perhaps you could put a link up.

I think this interview answers your last point;

The hamas thing he referred to apologies not the Gaza thing.
Trivialising the murder of people and babies and raping of women.
There are other links where he was asked why he trivialised it and he just says I?ve got nothing more to say.
We all know why.
A terrorist organisation trivialised as the hamas thing. Shameful but not surprising.
Then again the left flip flop so much the truth becomes their narrative at the time.
Eg Starmer on what a woman is. 🤣🤣😃 flip flop left.
