Occasionally you come across the use of a well known symbol being used to create opinions. In this case its clear the nazi SS symbol being used to create an association in YOUR mind between the SS and Hamas. Leading you to form the obvious opinion. This doesn't even have to be a conscious formation.

a bit like "homeland security" which is a term first used by hitler by the way
