They don’t want to kill all Jews. They want the expulsion of all Jews from Israel/Palestine. At least according to their original manifesto, they’ve changed it to remove this part to be fair.
It can be argued that the Israeli government wants the same thing for the Palestinians.
“rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea”
… “the Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them.”
OP is misleading. Hamas has a new 2017 charter, which has change a lot. As far as I can remember, they had alterd their demand/charter, where the main clause is to have the Israel/Palestine border to be as of 1967.
Some members have stated as such but have been corrected by the leadership. Hamas, at least publicly, only said that they wanted to forcefully displace the Jews and that they would not hesitate to kill civilians to attain that objective.
Oh that’s all? Thank goodness forcible displacement using coercive threats on a civilian population isnt a war crime. I don’t understand why you are splitting hairs on the goals of this openly genocidal group. Supporting Palestinians doesn’t mean you have to go to bat for Hamas.
Where do you see that I’m supporting them? I literally reiterated in many comments that what they want is a war crime. No need to invent some other objectives they are plenty awful enough.
It really didn’t take much to get you in the mood to justify a targeted attack on civilians did it. I’m consistent in my view that it’s wrong to murder civilians, but it doesn’t seem like you are.
Well yes ? How else would you want to do this. I just gave you an example of a senior Hamas officer saying kill all Jews and Hamas saying they do not agree.
I have no doubt Hamas leadership is a bunch of genocidal maniacs but their official stance has been in the past the forceful displacement and nowadays it’s the return to pre 1967 borders. They are ready to admit to the existence of Israel, not by pleasure mind you, but their official stance nowadays is that they are partially open to a two state solution if the right to return is put in place.
This might be a bunch of lies, but it is their official position.
Given that Jews are not likely to voluntarily leave Israel, this is de facto a call to violently expel or kill all Jews in the area, which is nearly half of the world’s Jews.
While yes, going from “Kill all Jews” to just “Kill half of all Jews” is an improvement, it’s still not “let’s all hold hands and find a way to get along!”. This isn’t to say that the Israeli far right is all that much better really, though they’re better at knowing what parts to say out loud.
Yes it is a clear war crime don’t get me wrong. But exaggeration has no use when reality is awful enough.
Hamas is a terrorist organisation that will not hesitate to kill civilians to achieve their ideals. They do not publicly at least want to kill all Jews.
TBF, so is the IDF. They have killed, what, nearly 20,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children non-combatants, since they declared war on Gaza? They claim to care about not killing civilians, but they sure aren’t putting a lot of effort into not killing them.
What’s a reasonable ratio of combatants to non-combatants killed? 1:1? 1:10? If Israel has to kill one hundred civilians in order to kill a single Hamas militant, is that acceptable?
This is plain wrong and disinformation. Israel has killed way more civilians than is usual or acceptable in a war but nowhere near the numbers you cited.
“rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea”
… “the Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them.”
Y’all are conveniently ignoring the fact that this an outdated charter and can’t find such language in the new one. Just another day clocking in to the genocide defence factory, don’t forget the emojis.
It’s also interesting that Hamas literally calls for genocide or in their more “PR friendly” new draft only ethnic cleansing, and then Hamas ball garglers claim Israel is commiting genocide.
Don’t get me wrong, there have been war crimes, collective punishment is a war crime. But it’s not genocide.
And killing every jew in the world…

Hamas’ 1988 charter
Thanks I was too lazy to find the exact citation.
Do you see the difference between what you said and their charter ? What Hamas wants is awful enough, no need to exaggerate.
OP is misleading. Hamas has a new 2017 charter, which has change a lot. As far as I can remember, they had alterd their demand/charter, where the main clause is to have the Israel/Palestine border to be as of 1967.
When they say kill jews they mean all, everywhere. They’ve even stated this to the press.
Some members have stated as such but have been corrected by the leadership. Hamas, at least publicly, only said that they wanted to forcefully displace the Jews and that they would not hesitate to kill civilians to attain that objective.

Truth matters, especially in conflicts like this.
Actually resisting oppression and removing the oppressors from your land is indeed not a war crime.
Just like how the Ukrainians have the right to expell the Russians colonizing Crimea.
It really didn’t take much to get you in the mood to justify a targeted attack on civilians did it. I’m consistent in my view that it’s wrong to murder civilians, but it doesn’t seem like you are.
You really want me to give you recent quotes from their leaders? You want to look that stupid?
Well yes ? How else would you want to do this. I just gave you an example of a senior Hamas officer saying kill all Jews and Hamas saying they do not agree.

Hamas civilian casualty rate on Oct7 was around 3/4 civilians to IDF, with 29/1200 children deaths.
This is better than the US avarage of 9/10. Israel is guessed to be around 99/100 and 6000/18000 children deaths.
This is plain wrong and disinformation. Israel has killed way more civilians than is usual or acceptable in a war but nowhere near the numbers you cited.
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_2023_Israel–Hamas_war
What? Your link cites 18k and There’s still 5k bodies missing in Palestine. The real death count is likely above 20k already.
Yes ? Do you really think only 200 Hamas militants were killed ? Because that’s what your ratio would suggest.
Israel is unnecessarily killing and starving civilians, but once again gross misinformation serves nobody and only justifies more horrors.
They’ve never said that. Why are you making up shit?
Of course they did

Hamas’ 1988 charter
This is hilarious.
Hamas ball fondler: Hamas doesn’t want to kill all Jews
Someone: Here’s the Hamas charter where they literally say the want to kill the Jews.
Hamas ball fondler: Well that is devastating to my argument so I’m choosing to ignore it
😂
Y’all are conveniently ignoring the fact that this an outdated charter and can’t find such language in the new one. Just another day clocking in to the genocide defence factory, don’t forget the emojis.
But but but we changed the charter. It’s probably your best joke.
This one’s for you Hamas ball fondler:
Reporter: So you removed ‘kill the Jews’ from your charter.
Hamas: Yes Dave from accounting slipped that in there.
Reporter: So you don’t want to kill all the Jews now?
Hamas: That’s right 😉.
Reporter: Did you wink at me?
Hamas: Of course I didn’t! 😉
Reporter: There you did it again!
Hamas: Look now we definitely don’t want to kill Jews 😉
Reporter: I’m beginning to think you want to attack the Jews! Did Dave get punished at least?
Hamas: Promoted actually.
Reporter: Why did you even bother changing your charter then?
Hamas: It made it easier to get rubes cough ball fondlers cough…I mean supporters.
😂
