This is not true. Zero of the resistance groups, Hamas or otherwise, have ever had the goal of eradicating all Israelis. They are anti-colonialst resistance movements fighting for their humanity and sovereignty, not genocidal movements like Zionism. They exist due to Israel's unbelievably violent ethnic cleansing of local populations, which are justified and celebrated by Israelis because of the ethnosupremacy baked into Zionism.
The destruction of Israel means the end of Israel as a Settler Colonialist Ethnostate, of the Occupation, of the Apartheid, of the Genocide. It means the creation of a new State where Palestinians have equal rights to Israelis. Palestinians are not inherently primitive and antisemitic, which is the underlying sentiment baked into that idea equating the two. Zionism is an inherently Supremacist ideology and dehumanizes Palestinians in order to justify the Ethnic Cleansing and Settler Colonialism.
That entire argument is based on a false premise and is completely at odds with the history as I pointed out earlier. It ignores the reality of Partition, the nakba, sabra and shatila, the deliberate plans of ethnic cleansing and settlements, the creation of the PLO, Hamas, and other resistance groups as a reaction to the fascist violence of Zionism, the apartheid, and the details of the peace process including the Oslo Accords where Israel has wielded to continue ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism for decades.
Peace Process and Resolution
Both Hamas and Fatah have agreed to a Two-State solution based on the 1967 borders for decades. Oslo and Camp David were used by Israel to continue settlements in the West Bank and maintain an Apartheid, while preventing any actual Two-State solution

One State Solution, Foreign Affairs
Hamas proposed a full prisoner swap as early as Oct 8th, and agreed to the US proposed UN Permanent Ceasefire Resolution. Additionally, Hamas has already agreed to no longer govern the Gaza Strip, as long as Palestinians receive liberation and a unified government can take place.
