You asked me for some examples of Hamas leaders calling for the destruction of Israel and the death of Jews. Here you go:
The video, a compilation of MEMRI TV
clips that aired prior to the Dec-Jan Gaza crisis, includes statements
by Hamas leaders calling for the annihilation of Israel and of all Jews,
for death to America, and for the Islamic conquest of the world.
Featured
are Hamas leader Khaled Mash'al, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya,
Hamas MPs Mushir Al-Masri and Fathi Hamad, Hamas MP and cleric Yunis
Al-Astal, Palestinian Legislative Council acting speaker Sheikh Ahmad
Bahr, and Hamas clerics Wael Al-Zarad and Muhsen Abu 'Ita.
Viewers
will also witness Hamas military training for adults and children,
anti-American speeches at rallies including burning of the American flag
and calls of support for "The Afghan Mujahidin", Hamas Al-Aqsa TV
children's shows, and more.'
Video from by the Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas military wing), addressing Israelis:
"From the Palestinian people to the Zionists: We've missed the suicide attacks. Expect us soon at bus stations and in cafés."

"From the Al-Qassam Brigades to the Zionists: Don't go to sleep because we may get you in your sleep."

Here's the 13th Article of Hamas's Charter (
my emphasis):
'Article Thirteen: Peaceful Solutions, [Peace] Initiatives and
International Conferences [Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful
solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian
problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance
Movement. For renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of
the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is
part of its faith, the movement educates its members to adhere to its
principles and to raise the banner of Allah over their homeland as they
fight their Jihad: “Allah is the all-powerful, but most people are not
aware.” From time to time a clamoring is voiced, to hold an
International Conference in search for a solution to the problem. Some
accept the idea, others reject it, for one reason or another, demanding
the implementation of this or that condition, as a prerequisite for
agreeing to convene the Conference or for participating in it. But the
Islamic Resistance Movement, which is aware of the [prospective] parties
to this conference, and of their past and present positions towards the
problems of the Muslims, does not believe that those conferences are
capable of responding to demands, or of restoring rights or doing
justice to the oppressed. Those conferences are no more than a means to
appoint the nonbelievers as arbitrators in the lands of Islam. Since
when did the Unbelievers do justice to the Believers? “And the Jews will
not be pleased with thee, nor will the Christians, till thou follow
their creed. Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah [himself] is the Guidance.
And if you should follow their desires after the knowledge which has
come unto thee, then you would have from Allah no protecting friend nor
helper.” Sura 2 (the Cow), verse 120 There is no solution to the
Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals and
International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in
futility. The Palestinian people are too noble to have their future,
their right and their destiny submitted to a vain game. As the
hadith has it: “The people of Syria are Allah’s whip on this land; He
takes revenge by their intermediary from whoever he wished among his
worshipers. The Hypocrites among them are forbidden from vanquishing the
true believers, and they will die in anxiety and sorrow.” (Told by
Tabarani, who is traceable in ascending order of traditionaries to
Muhammad, and by Ahmed whose chain of transmission is incomplete. But it
is bound to be a true hadith, for both story tellers are reliable.
Allah knows best.)'
A clip from a full-length anti-Israel movie that shows a Hamas funeral where the preacher exhorts Allah to kill all the Jews.
"Oh Allah, loosen your power and strength on the Jews... Please Allah,
kill them all and don't leave any of them alive... Please Allah, get rid
of the Jews"
"You don't treat the Jews as enemies because they are only human beings
who eat and drink, No! We treat them as enemies because they are the
enemy of Allah and the prophets, they are murderers of prophets,
falsifiers of divine revelation, they are treacherous betrayers,
therefore we treat them as enemies... Allah! Allah, count the Jews and
kill them to the last one and don't leave even one."
That's Dr. Walid Al-Rashudi, head of the Department of Islamic Studies at Saud
University in Saudi Arabia, in a speech from 2009 broadcast on Hamas TV.
"Hamas must declare that it was formed to eliminate the state of Israel,
and that Israel is an entity that must disappear. [Hamas] should
declare that its political, military, and social plan is the liberation
of all the land by means of resistance"
The words of Kana'an 'Obeid, an advisor to the Hamas government in Gaza,
in an October 8, 2012 article in the Hamas newspaper Al-Risala.
Hamas Deputy Speaker Ahmad Bahr preaching for the annihilation of Jews and Americans.
"Jihad... in order to annihilate those Jews..."
"Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, destroy the
Americans and their supporters. Oh Allah, count them one by one, and
kill them all, without leaving a single one."
"You have made our killing of the Jews an act of worship"
"With Allah's Teachings "We Harvest the Skulls of...Jews"
"The (Jews) are brought in droves to Palestine so that the Palestinians -
and the Islamic nation behind them - will have the nonour of
anhiliating the evil of this gang"
"In just a few years, all the Zionists and the settlers will realize
that their arrival in Palestine was for the purpose of the great
massacre by means of which Allah wants to relieve humanity of their
evil."
That was Hamas MP and Cleric Yunis al-Astal from 2011.
Here's a Hamas children's TV program calling for the "slaughter of Jews"
For more of Hamas's brainwashing children to hate and want to kill Jews take a look at this
other blogpost:
"We want to... We will annhiliate the Jews"
"Just give us weapons, the boys and the girls themselves, we will kiill
them all [the Jews]. We won't leave a single Jew. We won't leave a
single Jew here."
The above are examples of brainwashing and its consequences, it's not
pretty and it's not difficult but it is effective. The same concepts and
tactics used in Nazi Germany are being used in Palestine and beyond.
The end is the same, to kill all Jews. The evidence is clear and the
people expressing these views express them clearly, yet the Western
media and the useful idiots of the Western left still claim that if only
Israel would retreat to its pre 1967 borders all will be well. That
last video included a quotation from Faysal al-Husseini, the PA
Minister for Jerusalem Affiars that I think needs repetition:
"The Oslo Accords were a Trojan horse; the strategic goal is the
liberation of Palestine from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean]
Sea"
Fairly clear?
Remember that on the same day Yasser Arafat signed the Declaration
of Principles on the White House lawn in 1993, he explained his
actions on Jordan TV thus "Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we
do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of
Palestine, and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a
springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab
nations to join us for the final blow against Israel."
The removal of East Jerusalem from Israel and a general return to the
1967 borders is not the aim of Hamas, Fatah/PLO/PA or the rest of the
Muslim Middle East, it is but a staging post on the way to the eventual
destruction of Israel.
The following are comments made by Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya
on his visit to Tunisia in early January 2012. The comments were all
recorded and broadcast on Al-Aqsa TV:
"I say to you now, in the capital of south Tunisia: We will never ever recognize Israel."
"The land of Palestine, oh brothers and sisters, is an Islamic, as
decreed by the second caliph, Omar ibn Al-Khattab. We shall not
relinquish the Islamic waqf on the land of Palestine, and Jerusalem
shall not be divided into Western and Eastern Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a
single united [city], and Palestine stretches from the
Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, and from Naqoura [Rosh
Ha-Niqra] to Umm Al-Rashrash [Eilat] in the south."
This is Hamas's leader in the Gaza Strip, Ismail Haniyeh, saying on 14
December that whilst Hamas may work for the "interim objective of
liberation of Gaza, the West Bank, or Jerusalem," this in an "interim
objective" and "reconciliation" with Fatah will not change Hamas'
long-term "strategic" goal of eliminating all of Israel. Ismail Haniyeh
also said this:
"The armed resistance and the armed struggle are the path
and the strategic choice for liberating the Palestinian land, from the
[Mediterranean] sea to the [Jordan] river, and for the expulsion of
the invaders and usurpers [Israel]... We won't relinquish one inch of
the land of Palestine."
From the sea to the river, now where have I heard that before?
Oh yes,
remember that every time someone chants "From the river to the sea,
Palestine will be free" they are calling for the destruction of
Israel, the ending of the Jewish state. The river is the Jordan, the
sea is the Mediterranean; from the river to the sea is not calling
for a two state solution, it is calling for the destruction of
Israel.
Two days after Ismail Haniyeh's speech, the Palestinian Authority's
Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said that Hamas leader abroad Khaled Mashaal had
agreed that:
"There will be no military resistance."
"The permanent solution is on the '67 borders."
According
to Mahmoud Abbas, Hamas had agreed to a permanent solution based on
the 1967 borders. However, Haniyeh said that Hamas agrees to a
temporary solution on the 1967 borders as a first stage only.
Who to believe?
Before you say Mahmoud Abbas, remember that for many years, the PLO
itself promoted a "stages plan" that would first create a Palestinian
state on the 1949 - 1967 armistice lines, and then work from that
position to destroy Israel. Indeed senior Fatah official Abbas Zaki
recently stated that this remains the goal for Fatah as well, but that
"you can't say it to the world. You can say it to yourself."...
The west listens to and believes what Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas say about
wanting a two state solution and a return to 1967 borders because
that fits in with their world view of an evil Jewish state stealing
land from poor Palestinians. The truth is some way from this narrative
but the western media, especially the BBC, just don't care; facts
will not be allowed to intrude into this narrative.
So the next time you hear a Palestinian spokesman saying they want to
live in peace with Israel or a BBC Middle East 'expert' explaining how
Hamas and the PLO have changed and really do want peace with Israel,
remember that it's all lies. Hamas and Fatah/PLO want to destroy
Israel, they claim all of the land that Israel stands on and the
return to 1967 borders is but the first step on the path to destroying
Israel and killing all Jews.
There's more examples but to be honest I find it boring showing what Hamas want, it's obvious. They don't hide it when they speak in Arabic, neither do their television programmes make any secret of it, but there are enough useful Western fools who believe the honeyed words of English used by Hamas and PA leaders in private meetings. Why these Westerners believe these words is not clear; do they want to believe them and thus they ignore all evidence to the contrary or do they have another reason for supporting genocidal Islamist terrorists?
