In reply to the discussion: 'We will repeat October 7 again and again' - Hamas official [View all]sarisataka
(22,245 posts)31. If you read the Hamas Covenant
You would see that is incorrect. When they say Palestine they mean all of it.
Some excerpts (again)-
The Land of Palestine
2. Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras al-Naqurah in the north to Umm al-Rashrash in the south, is an integral territorial unit. It is the land and the home of the Palestinian people. The expulsion and banishment of the Palestinian people from their land and the establishment of the Zionist entity therein do not annul the right of the Palestinian people to their entire land and do not entrench any rights therein for the usurping Zionist entity.
The position toward Occupation and political solutions
18. The following are considered null and void: the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate Document, the UN Palestine Partition Resolution, and whatever resolutions and measures that derive from them or are similar to them. The establishment of Israel is entirely illegal and contravenes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and goes against their will and the will of the Ummah; it is also in violation of human rights that are guaranteed by international conventions, foremost among them is the right to self-determination.
19. There shall be no recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist entity. Whatever has befallen the land of Palestine in terms of occupation, settlement building, judaisation or changes to its features or falsification of facts is illegitimate. Rights never lapse.
There is no place for "the Zionist entity" (Israel)

I wonder, in this context, if the term "Hamas" is not a euphemism for all Palestinians.

It isn't that Hamas' violation of the laws of war excuses the same from Israel...

Israel has a far right government. Zionism used in this context tars an entire nation.

The air strikes have to stop immediately as IMO they are as inhumane as what Hamas did...

While I appreciate that it's a suggestion on what Israel should do rather than what they shouldn't...

You finally said you're not in favor of continued bombings. That's all you had to say.

What land? Land in Israel? Do you think that's a realistic expectation? NT

Agreed. How do negotiate with someone who doesn't recognize your right to exist.

Hamas's 1988 founding charter calls for the destruction of Israel. That is still
