Hamas thinks the whole world should be forcibly subjugated under its own creed and is quite open about it. E.g.: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” Hamas represents the thinking behind the original Arab objection to Israel's existence: a belief that there should be no non-Islamic entity in the region - and ultimately, none anywhere in the world. There is nothing comparable in the thinking of Netanyahu.
Another difference:
Hamas believes that large numbers of people among those it claims to represent should be sacrificed for the higher good of eradicating Jews and imposing Islam everywhere. Hamas fighters deliberately hide behind civilians -- either to restrain Israel (which Hamas clearly knows to have some qualms about killing innocents), or to gain a propaganda advantage from civilian deaths.
Another difference:
The most hardcore of the Israeli right wing don't appear to have deliberately targeted children and elderly for torture.
Or the original Arab objection could be that thousands of white Europeans who had been victims of a genocide that said Arabs had nothing to do with, streamed into Palestine to forcibly take the land from the people who were living on it. Prior to WWII there were some 260,000 Jews located throughout Middle Eastern countries where they were not subject to violence. There was no belief that the Jews shouldn't exist "anywhere in the world."
