    How do you reconcile the fact that Hamas explicitly does not want Israelis to exist anymore though? Does that not mean they intend to carry out a genocide?

        This is the line I’ve seen hundreds of times. It’s not complicated. They think by repeating their BS enough It’ll stick, because to republicans, it will

      They would be fine with Israelis becoming Palestinian. That’s hardly genocide.

      They just don’t want Israel to exist.

        The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.

        A real hadith quote from Hamas’ founding charter, Article VII (1988)

        Let’s be totally real here, for most of their short history Hamas has been deeply committed to carrying out a genocide against the Jewish people for a mix of reasons including politics, religion and race. Over the last 4-5 years Hamas have made an effort to moderate their language around this topic, but judging by recent events they have done very little to moderate their actions and ideology.
