I could not confirm your claim that Hamas called for murdering Jews globally. Could you please share a source?

My feeling is that media controlled by people - like TikTok - tend to be pro-Palestinian, whereas media controlled by institutions tend to be pro-Israeli (with the exception of the majority of ONGs and human right organizations).

Broadly generalizing like this does border on racism, which definitely does not help defend a country accused of apartheid and genocide.

I can find more sources but I have work to do.

My working theory is that pro-palestine contents is creating more clicks/advertisement revenue thus the algorithms prefer it.

Article 7 of the Hamas charter.
