Quote below from your link, Clubbfoot:

"Let's focus on the federal death row inmates he is suggesting are deserving of a pardon. One such individual is Robert Gregory Bowers, the man who, on October 27, 2018, walked into the Tree of Life synagogue in a Pittsburgh suburb and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle on the congregation. He killed 11 people and wounded six others when all was said and done."

So I had to look that up. Seems Bowers was upset at HIAS aiding and abetting illegal immigrants coming to the country.


Quote from link below:
"One of the congregations that uses space in Tree of Life synagogue is Congregation Dor Hadash, a Reconstructionist synagogue, a vocal and visible supporter of HIAS, founded as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. Since HIAS’ inception in 1881, its mission has been to help refugees and immigrants. HIAS helped some of your grandparents and great-grandparents when they resettled in the United States. It proudly proclaims: “Once, we helped refugees because they were Jewish. Today, we help refugees because we are Jewish.”


"In a post on social media, he (Bowers) wrote: “Open you (sic) Eyes! It’s the filthy EVIL jews Bringing the Filthy EVIL Muslims into the Country!! HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.”"
