    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.
