Israel vs Arab countries

The Israel Declaration of Independence, 14 May 1948:

THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. [Here]

Because of the principles in this Declaration, Israel is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious state, with equal rights for all, including its 22% of Arab citizens. 

The Charter of Hamas, 1988 and 2017

Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. (Preamble)
The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him." (Article 7)
Palestine is an Islamic land... Since this is the case, the Liberation of Palestine is an individual duty for every Muslim wherever he may be. (Article 13)
The Zionist project is a racist, aggressive, colonial and expansionist project based on seizing the properties of others; it is hostile to the Palestinian people and to their aspiration for freedom, liberation, return and self-determination. The Israeli entity is the plaything of the Zionist project and its base of aggression. (2017, Article iv).

[And much much more, along similar lines

Because of the principles in this Charter, Gaza is a uni-cultural, uni-ethnic, uni-religious, xenophobic, genocidal state with no rights for minorities, gays, women, jews. 

Number of Jews in Gaza: 0. Number of Christians in Gaza: 0. Number of non-Arabs, non-Muslims in Gaza: 0. 

The Hamas Charter makes clear in many places that it is explicitly genocidal. It urges killing all Jews in all of "Palestine" and then in all the world. 

These things in mind, it's a bit of a "thing I don't get" why people are violently anti-Israel, and worshipfully pro-Hamas. And are proud to repeat, to chant, the doctrines and hatreds of this vile outfit. 

Me... I love Israel, Jews and their cult of life. I hate Hamas and their cult of death. 

Idolise Israel; Hate Hamas.

And not buying any moral equivalence. One of these is good. The other is bad. T'were ever thus and remains thus.
