16. 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.

17. Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage. The Zionist movement, which was able with the help of Western powers to occupy Palestine, is the most dangerous form of settlement occupation which has already disappeared from much of the world and must disappear from Palestine. 

 Just be careful, as once I saw a video of a guy complaining to Hamas that he has no freedom (or something like that) and he said to Hamas that according to their chart he should have his freedom.

Then the Hamas guy argued that "the chart is something, but the reality is other".


Dont take for granted what they say. Its surely better than reading it from Western media, but better yet is to try to see their actions, not their words.
