A 12-year-old Jewish boy is under investigation by counter-extremism officers after he said that he wanted Hamas to be “wiped out,” a family member has claimed.
The boy's family, who have requested anonymity, have been interviewed by counter-terrorism police and local officers regarding radicalisation concerns after his comments about the terror organisation, they said.
The officers have also reportedly raised concerns about the boy posting a video online of him shooting a chair with a toy crossbow purchased from English Heritage.

The boy was asked by a teacher if anything was upsetting him. He said yes, Hamas. He then told the teacher he wanted Hamas wiped out. For some reason the school informed the police who, incredibly, took it seriously. It does make me wonder whether the police are aware that Hamas are in fact a proscribed terrorist organisation.
Last year the Shawcross review concluded that the Prevent strategy had lost it's way. This case is proof, if proof were necessary, that the Shawcross review is correct. 'Prevent' should be scrapped.
