    No they don’t. That’s just their PR to the west

    For them, just like the zionists, it’s purely a religious contest

      So you think the Hamas Charter, an Arabic-language document, was made entirely for western PR?

      Also, religion is orthogonal to Zionism; most Zionists are American Christians like Joe Biden. Israel is a settler-colonial project first and foremost, and religion is simply a tool it uses for that purpose.

        What language do you suggest they write their charter in?

        Why do you think they changed it in 2017?

          If they were doing it appeal to westerners, english. Like Israel does with their PR releases.

          Why do you think they changed it in 2017?

          The party changed its makeup and gained a more nuanced understanding in the 30 years since it was founded.

              Israel isn’t a party. Likud didn’t though, because their charter isn’t a propaganda piece.

                  Because neither Hamas’s charter or Likud’s for that matter are propaganda pieces aimed at the west, they’re for arabic speakers (or hebrew speakers in the case of Likud) to look at and understand how the organization works and its aims.

                    Do you think they assume that no westerner will ever be able to read them, because they are in some super secret language?

      yeah hamas sucks. it’s important to understand though why people are turning to hamas right now: it’s that, or die. so there are a lot of people with hamas right now who don’t hate jews, but are fighting alongside or even under a terrorist group who does genuinely and deeply suck.
