Right, because American media is famously anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. /s

Another data point is that Jews are getting killed and assaulted around the world. With that said, I agree that for now there's no actual evidence supporting this allegation. But I wouldn't be totally shocked to learn that his ethnicity or zionist beliefs had something to do with this, if indeed he was Jewish (which hasn't been confirmed).
The problem is that most people have many parts of their identities and you don’t know which factored into the attack. It certainly wouldn’t be a shock if it was anti-Semitism but it’s unclear why he would have been singled out from the many thousands of other Jews in the Boston area. This is problematic because most of the sources saying he was Jewish and pro-Israel seem to be quoting each other. The Wikipedia refer…

>He is a nuclear scientist so he might have been working for some country's nuclear program? Or "some country" tried to recruit him and killed him when he said no to maintain the (nonofficial) cover.
Ya’ll read too many conspiracy theories. What makes you think other countries were interested in recruiting him, specifically? I want to see the logic behind this assumption.
You don't understand why a country without nuclear weapons would try to get a scientist to help them make them?

In a different state, no less.
My understanding is that the border security between those states is rather lax.
The US doesn't have border security between states.
The closest thing to an exception is the "don't bring agricultural products into California" stations. However, there's a bypass lane for folks who stayed within 10 miles of the border, and no one checks whether someone is using that lane inappropriately.

Countries that have nuclear ambitions but lack the capability have more than enough scientists of their own that could do it given the permission. It’s pretty available science which is why we put sanctions on it and prevent people from enriching uranium like that.
So again, why him?

I would point out that when it comes to these, right, far right and fascists win the numbers. And right now, it is far right who is having genocidal rhetorics.
Which far right or fascist ruler came close to what Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot did in terms of numbers?
And right know in America, it is squarely fascists and racists who win the numbers and are on the path to add some.

Actually, already Hitler. The numbers are tight and Hitler did not finished his project. He was stopped by force. His plan was to exterminate Slavic people in the next generation too. And right know in America, it is squarely fascists and racists who win the numbers and are on the path to add some.

If I had a nickel for every time I replied to an HN comment to give the blindingly obvious example of "Adolf Hitler," I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.
