Hamas is an overtly genocidal organization; their charter says it in plain language
The 2017 Charter absolutely does not, and if you think it does you'll have to cite specific paragraphs to back up this view. In fact it specifically rejects antisemitism and goes on further to say:
Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds.

I don't have to parse the distinctions between their overtly genocidal charter, which they didn't disavow, and their new document. They re-avowed the original charter on October 7. Only on Twitter is this a live debate. You know what else happened with Hamas in 2017? A huge internal conflict and series of purges that left Yehya Sinwar, who is a literal Bond villain, in charge of the organization. It's wild to see anybody try to rehabilitate Hamas with "2017". (We're still just nerding out on this, I assume).
