No they don’t. They once had it in their charter in the 80s but updated it; and have called for a two state solution for nearly 20 years now. They even took the step of recognizing Israel, only for Netanyahu to move the goalposts. Meanwhile Netanyahu and the Likud party have genocide as their openly, publicly stated goal of destroying the nation of Palestine.
When did they recognize Israel? They’ve offered it as part of negotiations but so has Israel offered Palestinian Starbucks as party of negotiations. Each side included unacceptable inclusions to the other.
This may not seem like it but it is definitely a perfect example of a skewed and one sided narrative that this site is exposed to all the time.
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.
To be 100% clear: are you saying that it’s a fair call that they are separate concepts, or are you saying it’s a fair call that Israel should be destroyed?
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.

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?

But their leaders say it best: we will repeat October 7th until Israel is destroyed.
Calling for Israel to be destroyed is not antisemititic, it’s antizionist.
And honestly a fair call.
To be 100% clear: are you saying that it’s a fair call that they are separate concepts, or are you saying it’s a fair call that Israel should be destroyed?
Both.
How about this section?

Where as Israel has genocide as its less loudly stated but vastly more achievable goal.
So at least they are honest about it.
