      Hamas isn’t lead by the people it was lead by even a decade ago. Their more recent 2017 charter is pretty explicitly not genocidal, they are anti-Israeli and explicitly not anti-Jewish.

        Said conference was held in 2021. But I guess maybe a couple of years is enough time to reform a genocidal group.

        Maybe Hamas leadership changed their tune towards murdering regular Jewish people sometime after that?

        Certainly an analysis of their actions since that time will show their more peaceable trajectory…

        That only the Israeli govt is capable of carrying out their genocide tendencies doesn’t mean Hamas doesn’t have genocidal tendencies.

          I never claimed they’re peaceful. They want to kill settlers and IDF goons and they want to destroy the Israeli occupation. Hardly peaceful.

          But that’s not genocide. That’s just people’s war.
