Hamas is the favorite to win an election in Palestinian state:

They are also the party that won the last (and only) election held by Palestinians, as well as the current rulers of Gaza.

Their explicit goal is to kill every Jew in Israel, and they have acted it out in the genocidal 10/7 massacre.

So not only do Palestinians support a party that promotes the genocide of all Jews in Israel - by all available evidence, this party is currently the favorite to control a Palestinian state.

Not to mention there's pretty solid ground to believe that if Fatah (Hamas's only viable rival) controlled a Palestinian state, they'd also support the genocide of Jews. Just look at the education they provide to West Bank children, describing Jews as subhuman monsters that must be eradicated.

It's absurd to be accusing Hamas of genocide while Israel is committing an actual genocide on the Palestinians as we speak, and has a long history of apartheid and ethnic cleansing as well. Maybe we can worry about the hypothetical genocide that Hamas might want to commit but can't due to the massive difference in military power after the genocide that is currently being committed by Israel is stopped?
