It was founded specifically because Israelis killed the founders preteen son during an attack.

Article 7 of their 1988 charter cites a verse demanding a holy war to exterminate the Jews, one so fierce that the very stones and trees call out to announce their hiding spots. Article 8 of the same charter states “Jihad is [Hamas’s] path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.” It doesn’t get much clearer than that.

Yes, and most the world feels the same way about Nazis and Germans for a while. Ukrainians feel this way about Russians.
If you have most of your family ethnically cleansed after being invaded, you tend to blame the people that did it. Maybe don’t have a genocidal ethnistate insist it represents all Jews and all Jews must support it if you don’t want the victims to blame all Jews.

Who thought it was their divine mission to exterminate the Nazis and Germans? Do Ukrainians think obliterating the Russian people is their God-given task on earth? And in those cases, does that justify setting out to annihilate an entire demographic?
Do you believe October 7th was justified?
