Hamas also doesn't endorse genocide of Jewish people.

In 2018, after the deadliest attack of Jews in the U.S. (11 killed during an attack on a synagogue), Hamas condemned the attack: https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/187356-181028-h...

They do want Palestine (from the river to sea) to be under Muslim and Arab rule, which is still a racial and religious hierarchy similar to Zionism, which we have seen can all to easily lead to genocide, so I don't want to suggest they are beacons of morality, but they are certainly no worse than Israel, and they are operating from the position of having one of the world's most advanced militaries and media apparati stacked against them

I am personally of the opinion that that's more a PR thing than a genuine change of heart. I would very much love to be proven wrong, but the acts of Oct 7 really don't give me much hope there.

I think both have significant genocidal intent, if the world will let them get away with it, but only one party has genocidal capacity.
