COMMON MYTHS VS FACTS #13

Since 1997, Hamas is recognized as designated terrorist organization according to the U.S. Department of state 

The Hamas Charter reads the following: 
The time(16) will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad(17), which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim)(18)

Hamas was NOT established in order to defend Palestinian-Arabs. Hamas was established in order to murder Jews and destroy Israel.
