This is Hamas' updated charter, which speaks for itself. The original from 1988 is decidedly anti-Jewish. It's based on Islamic jihadism, whereas the PLO was secular.
I personally don't care about their charter. It's a resistance movement with a flawed strategy, but whatever anyone has to say about it, it's forced the world to take notice. The cost is terrible, but the conditions in Gaza have been worsening for a long time, with no prospect for enforcement of applicable international law. That has now changed. The comparison to the Nat Turner rebellion is exact in this respect. My hope is that the final outcome is also comparable.
