    Calling Hamas/ Palestinians antisemitic is like accusing wwii-era Korean/ Chinese/ Malaysian resistance groups etc. of being ‘Japanophobic’ against their occupiers, or trans people of being ‘cisphobic’ against transphobes.

        I checked your link and that outdated charter you quoted also links to their 2017 charter. Point 16:

        “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.”
