> Have you got a citation that Hamas is on a religious mission to "kill all non-muslims".

Read their own literature, read Wikipedia, read any source on Hamas. This isn't a hidden agenda, this is their stated goal.

> it's primary focus is to resist the Zionists which repeatedly encroach on Palestinian land.

I addressed the issue of "Palestinian" in the previous comments. There are extreme Zionists and there are people like me who support the idea of a safe place for Jews even if we don't support the previous Israeli government- the current one is too new to have an opinion on. And we're Zionists too. I want to see peace and equality for all the people.

> Imo, making a comparison to ISIS is a tad bit lazy given the historical buildup to the problems in Israel. Just because a bunch of guys have big beards and shout in Arabic doesn't really make them equivalent in their aims.

It would be lazy if I were doing that, but I wasn't.

I was explaining their ideology, explaining why it's different than the PLO. As for have big beards- Jews have big beards too, and some of the Jews with big beards in my family speak Arabic as their native language, so what's your point?
