how can we possibly justify giving $300M/year and the EU giving $600M/year to an organization that is dedicated to perpetual warfare with Israel until they destroy Israel?

Because the politically correct way to express that "goal" is that Hamas is dedicted to a solution to the current Pal-Israel situation which gives equal rights to all citizens, regardless of ethnicity or religion, and allows all citizens (which would be present day Israelis and Palestinian refugees) equal rights to live in all the disputed lands. It requires uniting the land under one country, with one set of laws which are indifferent to religion and ethnicity, and giving all citizens in that united land equality. In other words, implementing a solution with very "American ideals".

One implication of that solution is that the current ~2 state (or ~1.5 state, whatever) situation would no longer exist. Thus Israel the "Jewish homeland" would no longer exist.

What the EU and the US want for our money is peace between Israel and Palestine.

What the EU and US want is peace among all people on the planet.

There is no country of Palestine, and the existence of present day Israel is opposed by most of the population of its neighboring countries.
