    Would Hamas be genocidal as you call it if they weren’t living in an open air prison?

    It’s not like they have a nation that they can work towards its prosperity.

      As far as I understand it, the Hamas charter specifically details Israel and the Jews being destroyed. I’m not in any way defending either government, it seems that they both need to go.

      And then there’s the other neighbours who also aren’t keen on Israel…

        AFAIK it got a bit less extreme in 2017 (still calling for the destruction of Israel, but that’s calling for a one-state solution, not the genocide of Israel).
