From the linked article:
One video [of many similar], published gleefully by Hamas-affiliated social media accounts, showed masked figures using a long metal pole to smash a blindfolded man’s kneecaps. His agonised screams and pleas for mercy are too visceral to properly describe.
In another notorious incident earlier this month, Hamas gunmen allegedly taunted victims they had shot up earlier by preventing them entering a hospital, leaving them to writhe around outside.
This is what Western liberals, who absurdly claim a mantle of moral superiority, are supporting. Do they understand that they are defending and helping to perpetuate such outrages against human decency?
One might instinctively say that they must not understand. But I am not sure that is correct. Sadism has always been a huge, if insufficiently acknowledged, element of leftism.

In my opinion, they are not misguided. They are evil.
