Hamas 'Politicians' and Terrorists: No Difference Between Them

The fact that Sinwar was elected shows that Hamas's political and military branches are the same. It also demonstrates that when it comes to Islamist terrorist organizations, there is no difference between a political and military leader. By electing Sinwar as its "political" leader, Hamas itself is stating that it does not distinguish between a politician and terrorist.
Has anyone ever considered referring to Osama bin Laden and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the heads of Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS), as the "political leaders" of their respective organizations?
In addition to Haniyeh, Hamas's "political bureau" consists of several figures such as Khalil al-Hayya, Khaled Mashaal, Musa Abu Marzouk, Ghazi Hamad, and Taher a-Nunu who have long been advocating the armed struggle against Israel and glorifying acts of terrorism against Israelis.
"For the BBC, Ismail Haniyeh was 'moderate and pragmatic;' for the rest of us he was a monster," commented British author and journalist Stephen Pollard. He pointed out that Haniyeh had recorded the following message to the Palestinians from his luxurious home in Qatar: "We need the blood of women, children, and the elderly of Gaza...so as to awaken our revolution spirit."
"Haniyeh was indeed 'moderate'. The total number of Jews murdered by Hamas does not come close to six million." — Stephen Pollard, British author, thejc.com, July 31, 2024.
Now that Sinwar has joined Hamas's inner circle of "political" figures, it is reasonable to presume that he too will be dubbed by the Western media as a "moderate" and "pragmatic" Palestinian leader.
What comes next? Will the Biden-Harris administration and other Western governments rush to discuss with the newly elected Palestinian leader and mass murderer the creation of an independent Palestinian state that will be used by the Iranian regime and its terror proxies, including Hamas, to destroy Israel?
