Let’s tweet out the Hamas Charter so that the world can better understand who the Gaza Palestinians elected and continue to support as their leaders.

Thread. 👇🏻

Article 1 — describes Hamas as an Islamic Resistance Movement with an ideology of Islam.

Article 2 — defines Hamas as a "universal movement" and "one of the branches of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine"

Article 3 — explains that the Movement consists of "Muslims who have given their allegiance to Allah".

Article 4 — Hamas “welcomes every Muslim who embraces its faith, ideology, follows its programme, keeps its secrets, and wants to belong to its ranks and carry out the duty”

Article 5 — explains connections to the Muslim brotherhood and declares Islam as its official religion and the Koran as its constitution.

Article 6 of the Hamas charter — "strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine."

It claims that the world will descend into chaos and war *without* Islam.

Article 7 of the Hamas charter explains the purpose of Hamas is to oppose the Jews and praises some dead terrorists.

Article 8 states that the method of opposition is Jihad.

Article 13 of the Hamas charter states that no negotiations are possible and that Jihad is the only solution.

Article 17 of the Hamas charter declares the role of a woman in Islamic society as the "maker of men." It condemns Western society for allowing women to be free.

Article 22 of the Hamas charter is a rambling of antisemitic tropes about Jews controlling the planet and starting wars.

Article 28 of the Hamas charter continues with conspiracy ramblings about Jews, this time about how Jews destroy society through moral corruption by eliminating Islam, and accuses Jews of drug trafficking and alcoholism.

Article 30 of the Hamas Charter calls for Jihad by all members of a Palestinian and Arab society.

Article 31 then audaciously describes Hamas as "a humanistic movement", which "takes care of human rights and is guided by Islamic tolerance when dealing with the followers of other religions".

Article 32 condemns as co-plotters the "imperialistic powers" seeking to corrupt all Arab countries one by one, leaving Palestine as the final bastion of Islam.
Then rambles on about The Protocols of the Elders of Zion conspiracy.

Article 34/35 compares Israel to an imperialist-colonialist movement, like the Crusaders and the Mongol invasions…
