Singapore itself is an Israeli ally and has been trying to frame the whole war as just a case of racial and religious disagreement rather than colonialism. It is also participating in Operation Prosperity Garden (the US-backed operation to stop Ansar Allah from enforcing the red sea blockade on Israel). I feel for the charity workers. The government's hands however are stained with both Palestinian and Singaporean blood.

I checked your link and that outdated charter you quoted also links to their 2017 charter. Point 16:

"16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity."

EDIT: For those who wants to see it directly in case the above gets taken down: https://irp.fas.org/world/para/docs/hamas-2017.pdf

And this does not even get into the part where Israel itself is an antisemitic abomination:

-Israel's initial proposal/ conception was not out of some concern for the Jews but for antisemites to throw the Jewish population in a place where they don't have to see them

-Deliberately erasing the existence of Jews that lived in Palestine before their occupation in their rhetoric

-During wwii Israel turned back Jews that had no settler inclination/ potential back to the German concentration camps

-Committing atrocities while wearing the Star of David is designed to draw hatred to Jews as their scapegoat. It is not 'the only safe place for Jews', it is a perpetual warground that uses Jews as their human meatshields.

-Their massive PR/ rainbowwashing/ anti-BDS laws is probably also designed to be easily misconstructed as the 'Jews shadow-control the world' antisemitic trope

Calling Hamas/ Palestinians antisemitic is like accusing wwii-era Korean/ Chinese/ Malaysian resistance groups etc. of being 'Japanophobic' against their occupiers, or trans people of being 'cisphobic' against transphobes.

I hate this. We already have problems with the local government constantly painting any attempt at progressivism as a western import etc. This is just going to add fuel to the flame.
