CLAIM: Hamas’s 1988 charter calls for the eradication of Israel.
RATING:
True
The original 1988 Hamas charter does indeed call for killing Jews and reclaiming the land that Jewish militias took from them in 1948.
However, this charter was written by only three people—people who had never been outside Gaza and had never experienced anything other than life inside a tiny enclave occupied by the Jewish military. In short, they had never met a Jew that didn’t have a gun ready to use against them.
Within a few years of publication, Hamas already began distancing itself from this charter, rarely ever mentioning it thereafter.
It has since been superseded by Hamas’s 2017 charter, which does not call for killing Jews or defeating Israel, but rather talks about their struggle with the Zionist project and a willingness to settle for pre-1967 borders.
One reply on “Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!”
Keep trying to invent history. The palis didn’t exist until the mid 1960s.
One other fun fact – every group, every political organization, and every government that has ever tried to destroy the Jews has been destroyed. Fun fact #2 Israel has never been stronger.
