Hamas supports genocide against Jews

They have continuously denied these claims. What you are referencing was their manifesto when they were a fringe group that most Palestinians opposed. Hamas has long withdrawn that document

Was the 2017 revision fully ratified? Even the revised charter seeks the destruction of Israel. To me it seems obvious that religion underscores the conflict, but even viewed as a territorial dispute, it's clear that lasting peace is a challenging puzzle.

The destruction of the settler colonial and genocidal state where racism and treating Palestinians as second class citizens is part of its foundation is a good thing, and must not be mistaken for "the destruction of jews". The charter explains this disambiguation.

Do you not see how that complicates the conflict? It's not as simple as Israel ending the genocide to stop the violence, they would need to cease to exist.
