Top notch victim blaming you got there...

ETA because I don't engage with bigots:
Imagine that, the descendants of one of the biggest genocides in history want to try and piece their history together, and use the available tools to do it with, fucking shocker..
Then, when they continue getting targeted just for existing, privileged ignorant bigots who couldn't even imagine what having over 90% of their community gassed is like, and have never been oppressed for who they are a day in their lives, simply can't help themselves but jump to justify them being attacked again:

tHe bAstArDs dEseRve eVerYthInG tHey GeT!!11

And somehow not a word about the attackers, nor the company that failed its customers.

Sure, antisemitic Jan..🙄🙄🙄

"I can't believe this incredibly obvious thing happened!" Isn't really victim blaming, is it? They're not saying they did it to themselves or they deserved it, they're saying that this was bound to happen and people volunteered their DNA to a private company

As if victim blaming is always wrong.
