At-Tawbah 12: If they break their covenants and attack your religion after they have made an agreement, kill the leaders of disbelief. They are the ones who do not have any covenants. (And thus, fight them,) so that they (the ones who will turn to belief) will abandon their disbelief.

The misinterpretation
If, after their agreement, they break their oath and attack your religion, kill the leaders of the disbelief. Because they are men without oaths. (If you fight them) it is hoped that they will put an end to blasphemy.
The right translation
If they break their covenants and attack your religion after they have made an agreement, kill the leaders of disbelief. They are the ones who do not have any covenants. (And thus, fight them,) so that they (the ones who will turn to belief) will abandon their disbelief.
Explanation
The wrong opening here is this: It is hoped that they will stop disbelieving. The correct is: So that they (those who turn away from what is in it) put an end to disbelief.
Our Lord does not use the word "hopefully" when He forgives the sins or lives of a people. Hopefully means that He is unaware of the future, that He will judge people according to their situation, and that He will treat people, even if they are hypocrites, without knowing their situation. However, it is necessary to use the word Ta ki here. Ta ki is a demonstrative pronoun. Since our Lord knows that there will be Muslims in a tribe, it is a matter of giving them a unit of time.
What is said in the video
Verse 12. Where? Surah At-Tawbah. If, after their pledges, they break their oaths and attack your religion, kill the leaders of unbelief, it says. Look: the leaders of unbelief. For they are men who have no oaths. If you fight them, perhaps they will put an end to unbelief, it says. Here a single word, this place, the verse, well, ascribed a quality to Allah. Where is it? 'Perhaps'. Allah and 'perhaps'? It cannot be attributed to His word. Allah knows what everyone will do. What does it say? So that those among them who will turn back put an end to unbelief, it says. Kill their leaders. Among them there are also those who will turn back; Allah Almighty knows that too.
Yes.
