        “The people living in concentration camps started it. Bigotry against Muslims and Jews is all their fault.”

        He’s also implying that the way to end this bigotry is to complete the genocide against Palestine, since they’re the ones to blame for creating and spreading this prejudice. How is it sensible to use the body of a Palestinian boy to advocate killing more Palestinians?

        This is EXACTLY the same as bringing up “gangs” after a black child is lynched. Or bringing up “bankers” after a Jewish child is murdered.

        It’s just invoking a vague concept (in this case, “Hamas”) that scares all the white people due to being “bad thing” and the only relation to the situation at hand is the race of the victim (and the frothing racism of the perpetrator). It’s victim blaming.

        Bringing up Hamas here is almost unbelievably racist, except that there is no level of racism I wouldn’t believe from Homeland Security.

        Yeah there are. But I’m more angry about the people who invited this violence onto their own population and have institutional support that results in the murder of a boy thousands of miles away.
