The statement 'But Hamas!' (It’s the West Bank. Oh.) is a sarcastic and dismissive response to a serious issue involving the shooting of a Palestinian boy by Israeli soldiers. The tone is flippant and seems to trivialize the gravity of the situation. The intent appears to be to deflect or minimize the incident by invoking Hamas, a militant group often associated with Gaza, rather than addressing the specific context of the West Bank.
