Which is true? Obviously both, because Hamas isn't a hive mind. There were and are people filled with hate in the organization as well as much more reasonable freedom fighters. As well as some people who genuinely just want to do good within the strongest organization in the area.

Lol. Hamas didn't say anything of the sort. They stated that they would accept a pull back to the 1967 borders, but also that they would never recognize Israel and wouldn't rest until all of the land had been liberated:

"Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea," it said, referring to the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea.
"However, without compromising its rejection of the Zionist entity and without relinquishing any Palestinian rights, Hamas considers the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of June 1967, with the return of the refugees and the displaced to their homes from which they were expelled, to be a formula of national consensus."

Hamas has never stated that they would accept anything short of an Islamic state that comprises all of Israel and Palestine.
