I’ve evaded the question? How so? As you yourself quoted I said “ If you read the document further you will see that they reject Israel ‘as a Jewish state’, and wish to establish Palestine as an Islamic state. In other words, just as the Israeli government wants Israel to be an exclusively Jewish state, Hamas wants it to be an exclusively Islamic state.”

It seems the only thing evaded is the acknowledgment of a double standard that Israel is seemingly permitted to have an exclusively Jewish state on occupied territories whereas an exclusively Islamic state is disallowed.

Their statement refers to the ‘promise’ of the Balfour declaration - I’m not sure what you’re finding to be in accurate or taking issue with.
