I've read that there were updated documentstgat differ fundamentally from that which is bein presented by the public (Hamas wants Israel/Jews destroyed wholesale.

How does Hamas feel about Israel and how do they feel about Jewish folks in general?

Is there anything to work with or from here? It does not help they have a far-right political orientation in terms of governance currently, thats clearly an obstacle a priori for negotiation and reasonable discourse

How Hamas feels about Zionism/Israel:

The Zionist project is a racist, aggressive, colonial and expansionist project based on seizing the properties of others; it is hostile to the Palestinian people and to their aspiration for freedom, liberation, return and self-determination. The Israeli entity is the plaything of the Zionist project and its base of aggression.

How Hamas feels about Jewish people:

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.

Who is more believable than actual terrorists?

We've seen in their recent attacks that they do very much differentiate between Zionists and normal people before they kill them. Oh, wait...

I’m just quoting from their charter…

I'm just saying it's obviously not how they feel about it, but rather what they like gullible people to believe.

To put your quote into context.
