I have to repeat - as I did in some of my previous comments - that ignorance (together with psychological need for protagonism) is the main support to «left-wing» antisemitism. Among the main points of ignorance by the professors and students yelling their support to Hamas in some universities of the Usa, France, Italy etc., there is the program of Hamas: what this terrorist group really wants.
Its founding paper (the «Hamas Charter or Covenant») adopted in August 1988 was a concentrate of hate for the Jews, religious fanatism, appeals to Jihad and to personal sacrifice in the name of Allah. (If you want to plunge into the Medieval atmosphere of the Crusades, you may read it on-line. For instance in https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp).
That text was never revoked, but went through a revision in 2017. The new text is more political and much less barbarian or medieval in the form, but it is identical in the substance: it is still antisemitic, religiously fanatic and in favour of destroying Israel (there you find the infamous slogan «from the river to the sea» which is yelled with a sadistic taste in the mouth also by members of the reactionary left in some civilized countries). But the new text is politically important because it states clearly that for Hamas there is no solution to the Palestinian question: either they get control of the whole country (with the whole of Jerusalem as a capital) or they will continue fighting.
They also are for the one-State solution (as I am, thinking of a democratic, interethnic and no-confessional State) but what they mean is a Palestinian Islamic State, built on the destruction of Israel and the defeat of its inhabitants. The university ignorants above mentioned could read also this text on-line (e.g. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-2017-document-full). But I can help them, showing the main points which characterize today the project of Hamas.
Please, notice point 7 because for the first time in the history of humanity it is stated in a political constitution the obligation to believe that the religious Founder ascended to Heaven (in this case Muhammad from Jerusalem). Not even the Catholic Church has ever dared... But for Hamas this is the ground to claim the divine and juridical right to occupy the whole of Jerusalem.

The quotations and the bold sentences are mine:
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad, the Master of Messengers and the Leader of the mujahidin, and upon his household and all his companions.
3. Palestine is an Arab Islamic land. It is a blessed sacred land.
7. Within Palestine there exists Jerusalem, whose precincts are blessed by Allah. Palestine is the Holy Land, which Allah has blessed for humanity. It is the Muslims’ first Qiblah and the destination of the journey performed at night by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It is the location from where he ascended to the upper heavens.
It is the land of people who are determined to defend the truth… and they will continue their mission until the Promise of Allah is fulfilled.
8. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance…
10. Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine… Its Islamic and Christian holy places belong exclusively to the Palestinian people and to the Arab and Islamic Ummah. Not one stone of Jerusalem can be surrendered or relinquished.
18. The following are considered null and void: the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate Document, the UN Palestine Partition Resolution, and whatever resolutions and measures that derive from them or are similar to them. The establishment of “Israel” is entirely illegal.
20. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.
21. Hamas affirms that the Oslo Accords and their addenda contravene the governing rules of international law in that they generate commitments that violate the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. Therefore, the Movement rejects these agreements and all that flows from them.
25. Resisting the occupation with all means and methods is a legitimate right guaranteed by divine laws.
27. A real state of Palestine is a state that has been liberated. There is no alternative to a fully sovereign Palestinian State on the entire national Palestinian soil, with Jerusalem as its capital.
