The Hamas charter
The terrorist organization Hamas published a founding covenant in 1988 and another document in 2017. Read what both say, in its own words.
In 1988 Hamas published a covenant that frames the conflict in religious terms, aimed at Jews and at Israel’s existence. In 2017 it repackaged its positions in political language. The practice did not change: rockets, tunnels, and the October 7 massacre.
October 7 is where the film starts. That is the charter put into action.
Its soldiers describe fighting Hamas terrorists in Gaza after that attack. Want to know what Hamas is? Read its words, then watch what it did.
