so now, we are joined by our special guest, bruce hoffman.ing here. >> delighted to be here. >> you have a lot of experience as we know. a lot of it is grim because terrorism endures so a terrorism expert called on by our government is busy. when you look at what hamas is doing, do you understand it to be a continuation of this long standing terror playbook or is there something different afoot? >> i think it's very much part of a continuum that we've seen in the 21st century where savagery and brutality is handed oat to civilians. we saw this a decade ago with isis. nearly 20 decades ago with the 9/11 attacks. >> and when you talk about that savagery, that's tactical. you've been writing about hamas and you're trying to break down what it is. you say it's important to understand what they say they are historically what they've written down, how they've adjusted o updated that. you write they have a covenant with a message that encapsulates a quote master plan. quote, israel will continue to exist until islam will obliterate it just as it did
