That video speaks volumes, and thanks for posting it. The student's reluctance to express her support was evident with her emotional overtones barely in check, but the speaker knew her beliefs and drew them out. These are the types of activists who will often be persuaded (some needing little) to commit acts of terror. Hostile activists do not make good activists, and hostility is lethal to all citizens.
I understand that as a young student, one is not yet versed in many areas of life, but to believe that Hamas rule is a good thing for the people of Gaza is either delusional or just insane.
If the general elections take place (which haven't occurred for 15 years) as planned (March/April 2021), it will be interesting to see what happens, or, is allowed to happen. Reportedly, Hamas backers currently being held in Israeli jails have conducted elections while imprisoned. This indicates a strong level of control that has yet to be challenged.
Fatah, Hamas say deal reached on Palestinian elections
Hamas gained control by promising the people a "better life" (utilities, clean water) which only transpired within a subset of the population. Currently, the poor are lucky to have 5 hours of electricity daily. I have sympathy for the impoverished who do not back Hamas but currently have no means of changing the dynamic.

There is of course a segment of exhibited wealth within the Gazan Strip (besides their weaponry they've thrown a lot of money into building elaborate shopping malls), but as with many parts of the world, the difference between its poor and rich population is quite dramatic. Reportedly, the Israel-Sudan agreement will reduce the amount of incoming weapons from Iran significantly.

It seems this student on the video needs an urgent wake-up call, perhaps a field trip to Gaza to see for herself the conditions of the impoverished that are going unresolved, instead of relying on false propaganda.
