For example, in Article 13, we read, “There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility. The Palestinian people are too noble to have their future, their right and their destiny submitted to a vain game.”<br /> The deal of exchanging 1000 Hamas prisoners for one Israeli sounds like a great accomplishment for Hamas.
