Arab "media" consistently greatly exaggerates Palestinian military success. Most of the Arab non English speaking world believes Hamas is giving a good account. Also, true to the saying that if you tell a lie long enough you will start believing it yourself, the Arab world has convinced itself that 10/7 was a righteous operation against Zionist military targets, and there was no civilian atrocities.
It really is unfortunate for the Palestinians that their own media/propaganda is doing their best to keep Hamas in power, widely supported internally and externally in the Arab world, and keep the Palestinian future as bleak as possible.
