Murray came out swinging to frame the argument not about Israel but about Joe Rogan Experience not having pro-Israel experts on.
He won.
"You need more experts on Joe. You're not an expert, Dave" "Never said I was an expert, Murray" "See that's the problem, Joe" "Well Murray what's your expert opinion?" "I'm not an expert either" "You don't have to be an expert to see pictures of devastation" "But being there is better than pictures and you've never been there. I have" "How do you justify this devastation then?" "I'm not qualified to say because I'm not an expert".
Anybody that even tried to get to the end, or did, left saying "god damn, I wish Joe would have some experts on".
Douglas Murray was the sacrificial lamb, the intellectual suicide bomber to get Joe to platform Jewish propagandists in the future. This was to manipulate Joe into either not talking a position (because he's not an expert) or get propagandists on there he's not qualified or prepared to refute.
Almost all of the comments are about this issue of experts:
"Dude is an expert in recognising experts." - noticing that Murray wasn't an expert.
"Douglas spent a lot of time saying Cooper needs to be debunked, but he didn’t spend any time debunking him." - Lamenting that nobody presented the pro-Israel case.
"Listening to this guy talk in circles is making my hangover return. And yes, I am an expert on hangovers." Accepting the premise of experts credibility.
Tons of comments along this similar vein. Do you see ANY top comments about what Israel has done in Palestine? Not even a mention of Palestine being carpet bombed.
Murray did not come there to debate Israel/Palestine, he came there to trash JRE for not being a credible forum and he accomplished that - by making a mockery of the episode.

"Douglas Murray was the sacrificial lamb, the intellectual suicide bomber"
In other words, Murray blew up his credibility in service of Israel.
You said people left wishing Joe would have more experts on. Almost nobody left saying that. Murray was a suicide bomber, but he barely made a dent.
