Among other things, he wrote:-
Making good use of Treasury and F.B.I. analyses of Hamas and its fund-raising efforts in the United States and abroad, Levitt says he wants to destroy "the myth" that Hamas has separate military and political wings. He notes, as do Hamas leaders themselves, that there is one Hamas, and that it has a single leadership.
Further, Levitt asserts that Hamas's charitable work — including clinics, hospitals and religious centers — is intended to recruit new soldiers to its jihad, or holy war, against Israel, which it steadfastly refuses to recognize. He calls Hamas-sponsored mosques, schools, orphanages and sports leagues "integral parts of an overarching apparatus of terror."
What Levitt does not much discuss, however, is that the Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt primarily to Islamicize the societies in which it worked, and that Hamas's essential goal remains the creation of an Islamic society in Palestine. The war against Israel is actually secondary.
Yes, but the Islamicization of Palestinian society negates the existence of Israel.
He continues:-
Most damaging of all, Levitt does not discuss (and never even seems to entertain) the premise that Palestinians have a right to resist a 40-year Israeli occupation and partial annexation of their land. Part of Hamas's popularity among Palestinians stems from its commitment to the resistance. The Jewish settlements on the West Bank, the separation barrier the government is constructing, restrictions on movement by Palestinians, the failure of the Israelis to support those in Fatah committed to nonviolence, like President Mahmoud Abbas, do not enter Levitt's analytical universe.
Imagine that. Levitt, the author, doesn't entertain the idea/premise/assumption that the Pals. have a right to a country which isn't there's, wasn't there's and was intended by an international body, the Supreme Council of the League of Nations in 1922, to be the Jewish national homeland.
Imagine that.
