    They’re mocking that Israelis can’t pronounce Hamas properly. The first letter is ح which has no equivalent in English but comes from the throat whereas Israelis pronounce Hamas and Hommos with a خ which is pronounced like the Scottish Loch.

      They absolutely can, they choose not to. There are videos of Israelis slipping up because they were used to saying it correctly before 10/7, but now it is a shibboleth.
