Wrong. Hamas has clearly stated what it's goals are. The destruction of the State of Israel and death to the Jews therein. Hamas has persistently sabotaged any possibility of a two-state solution every time it looked like there might be room for an accord. Hamas does not want a Palestinian homeland that does not include the elimination of the State of Israel. And you know it.
And for what it's worth...Hamas would be gloriously happy to see all of us dead as well. They just don't have the organization to direct any of there venom here. But when they achieve their stated goal in the middle east...I have no doubt they will be ready to direct their terrorism here, as their Al Qaeda brothers already have.
