Why the Pittsburgh shooter raged about(be very angery with sth 對。。。大發雷霆) immigration before attacking a synagogue(n，猶太教堂)

On Saturday, a shooter opened fire inside a synagogue in the heart of a heavily（adv,很大程度） Jewish neighborhood in Pittsburgh. The attack occurred during Shabbat(希伯來語，rest

) services and during a bris(割禮), a celebration of a newborn life.

Immediately before the massacre(屠殺), the alleged killer(嫌疑犯) tweeted about HIAS, an organization once known as the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society that dates back to the late 19th century. “HIAS likes to bring invaders that kill our people,” he wrote. It doesn’t take a

deep understanding of American anti-Semitism（反猶太主義） to  know that to him, “our people” did not include Jewish Americans, even though Jews have lived in America since before the founding（美國建國之前) of the United States and the congregation（宗教團體） he attacked has been convening to pray since the Civil War. （南北戰爭）(The congregation also had no particular ties to HIAS.)

Why, then, did this white-nationalist（白人種族主義者） xenophobe gun down local Jews to protest HIAS? The massacre reflects a stark reality（殘酷的現實） with deep roots（深深紮根） in American history: Anti-Semitism, nativism and anti-immigrant sentiments have long been inextricably intertwined（被緊密的纏在一起）. 

The anti-Semitism that drove the immigration policy of the early 20th century never faded from American life. Nor did its connection to anti-immigrant sentiment. 

And that sentiment is what compelled a shooter ranting about HIAS to massacre Jews who were part of a congregation that dates to the 1800s and is located in a city where HIAS has no offices or presence.
