    I dare you to go read their current charter. Not the one from the 80s.

      Do you want the section where they declare their dedication to violence? Or perhaps the section where they use “from the river to the sea” as an explicit call for genocide?

      The charter was toned down. Instead of saying they want to kill all Jews, now they only want to kill all the Jews living in Israel.

      But their leaders say it best: we will repeat October 7th until Israel is destroyed.

        How about this section?

        1. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

        I’m sorry that you’re so down with colonialism that resistance groups fighting against oppression make you so uncomfortable. You’re whining about “Hamas calling for the genocide of Jews” yet you’re watching the supposed “Jewish homeland” (read: Jewish ethnostate) commit genocide on the people of Gaza. This to me says that you care only about Jewish life and very little or not at all about Palestinian life. You’re a racist, as all true Zionists are.
