I really don’t like Hamas, the group has been a negative force in the history of the Palestinian cause. Its definitive formation as a political force started 1980s when Israel purposely freed Islamists from prison to oppose PLO following its declaration of independence in Algeria, since then Islamism and Jihadism were small factions inside of the Palestinian cause, since the secular PLO strongly opposed it.

Over the years, Hamas has continued to show itself to be a reactionary and incompetent force. Unlike Lebanon's Hezbollah that respected secularism and the different communities of the country joining an united front with diverse left wing anti imperialist forces, Hamas turned against the last actual supporters of Palestine in the region, Iran and Syria. They decided to choose the despot Erdogan and his own retarded plans for the region.

The Palestinian cause is supposed to be a revolutionary socialist one against capitalism and the institutions of imperialism in the Arab world. Not a holy jihad for the sake of religious extremist forces that since the beginning are being used by the US and Israel in order to undermine it. It must be secular, seeing a lot of Palestinians are not muslims, plus the religious conflicts in the Middle East sunk the land into chaos.

I don’t think Hamas is an evil terrorist organization the way the West and Israel describes. It is actually just a reactionary forces for the Palestinians themselves, Israel helped its growth and nowadays use it in order to continue hostilities against Palestine after trying to erase left wing revolutionary ideas from the region.
