Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many other jihadi organizations, Hamas is driven by a deep passion defined and ruled by hate. It denies the historic claim of the Jewish people to the land that is now Israel. It denies their 4,000-year-old history that is not only documented in the Bible, but also confirmed in the host of archaeological finds that continue to be discovered in the biblical lands to this day. By denying Israel's history and its sovereignty, Hamas denies the country's basic right to exist, something explicitly stated in its founding charter, which was adopted in 1988. The charter is explicit: Hamas' core mission is to destroy the Jewish state of Israel and establish a new Islamic state, ruled under sharia in "historic Palestine.""There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors." - Article Thirteen, The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement
