🟢 Senior Hamas official Basem Naim: “Hamas, in its political document in 2017, has clearly stated that Hamas can accept a state on ‘67 borders with Jerusalem as a capital, and guaranteeing the right of return of Palestinian refugees. Who has used this chance to build on this political...

🟢 The claim by NY Governor Kathy Hochul that Hamas “calls for the genocide of Jews” is incorrect and does not indicate the group’s actual political positions and actions. Hamas’s foundational charter from 1988 contained explicit antisemitic conspiracy theory and religiously generalized anti-Jewish language, but that document has since been superseded by later political documents and practice. In 2017, the group issued a new political document that explicitly distinguishes between Jews as a religious group and Zionism as a political project, stating that its conflict is with Israeli occupation, not Jews as such. Hamas leaders have long described their struggle as one seeking self-determination, territorial and political in nature, aimed at ending Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land, not exterminating a people. Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan told Drop Site in May 2025: “We've said clearly, we are a people under occupation. We are not fighting just because we like to fight or it's a good idea to fight others. We are not fighting the Israelis because, for example, they are Jewish people. We don't have a problem with the Jewish people,” he said. “Even if a Muslim came to occupy my land, I will fight him. It is not related to the religion. It is related to being an occupier or not an occupier.” There is no credible evidence Hamas has pursued a coherent, operational program to exterminate Jews as a people globally or within Israel. Its military operations, including on October 7, and however unlawful under international law, have not been directed at Jews as an ethnic or religious group. This distinction is also reflected in Hamas’s ongoing legal challenge to its terrorism designation in the UK. In submissions reviewed by Drop Site News in April 2025, Hamas’s legal team acknowledges that its actions fall within the broad statutory definition of terrorism under British law, while arguing that the definition is so expansive it would also encompass the conduct of state militaries engaged in political violence. Equating armed resistance to an illegal occupation with genocidal intent also misuses the term “genocide,” which has a specific meaning under international law requiring demonstrable intent to destroy a group as such. Asserting genocidal intent furthers a dehumanizing narrative that shuts down serious discussion of what Hamas actually is: a Palestinian nationalist Islamic liberation movement combining political organization, governance, and armed resistance in an asymmetrical war against a state actor intent on exterminating Palestinians and occupying their land. 🎥 Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan speaking to Jeremy Scahill, May 2025.

🟩The latest Pod Save America episode features the hosts forcefully condemning Israel’s starvation siege and assault on Gaza, describing the mass killing and widespread hunger with clarity. Yet even as the conversation on the conflict evolves, political analysts continue to portray Hamas as a singular evil—a “monster”—without addressing the political and material conditions shaping the movement’s stance, most critically the question of why it refuses to disarm. Senior Palestinian resistance leaders have consistently told Drop Site News that disarmament under occupation would amount to total abandonment of the Palestinian struggle for self-determination. It would clear the path for full-scale ethnic cleansing. That’s why, after rejecting the Witkoff proposal in April, a senior Hamas official told the BBC that disarmament remains “a million red lines”: “The Israeli proposal … called for the disarmament of Hamas without any Israeli commitment to end the war or withdraw from Gaza. Hamas therefore rejected the offer in its entirety.” Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan expanded on this in a May interview with Jeremy Scahill: “We are a people under occupation. We are not fighting because we like to fight. Even if a Muslim came to occupy my land, I would fight him. It’s not about religion—it’s about occupation.” Despite reports in Israeli and some Arab media that Hamas might consider storing its weapons or handing them to a third party, Hamdan told Drop Site there have been no formal talks about such a proposal. “What about the Israeli weapons? Are they going to store their weapons, too?” said Hamdan. He stated that disarmament only follows a genuine political agreement between two parties: “Such an experience happened in Northern Ireland,” he noted. “But there was a real political arrangement, which was accepted by both sides.” Unless that happens, Hamdan said, the resistance will retain its arms until Palestinians achieve full statehood: “If there was a Palestinian state, those weapons would be handed to the Palestinian government. Even the [resistance] fighters, they will turn to be part of the army or the police of this government.” Until that day, Palestinians retain a legal right to resist illegal colonial occupation—a right codified in international law and affirmed in the UN Charter and General Assembly resolutions, which recognize the legitimacy of peoples fighting for self-determination “by all available means, including armed struggle.”
