Post Chanukah anti-semitism from Iran and Gaza

Iran's PressTV reported last month:

An exhibition of various forms of art created by the Iranian artists has kicked off in the Gaza Strip in Palestine, Press TV has reported.

Many Palestinian artists and people attended the opening gala that was held on November 18, 2013.

Organized by Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, the recent exhibition is Iran’s second experience in holding art gallery in Palestine.

The event presents some 50 various murals and paintings by Iranian artists and also offers Iran’s cinema through screening some selected movies.

While the exhibition is part of The Third International Arts Festival of Resistance, the show is to promote the culture of resistance as well as highlighting the Islamic awakening.
The video that accompanies the story shows some of the art.



For example, I sort of like this one:


But at 0:18 of the video, next to a subtle painting of a chalk Arabic hopscotch board with blood artfully splashed on it, we can see about half of what looks like an intriguing piece of seasonal antisemitism:



I can't find the original online, so I don't quite know what the "candles" are. Missiles? Baby bottles being burned? (UPDATE: Commenter consensus is that they are bullets.)

The poster can also be seen in the background during an interview at 0:30.

Whatever it is, it once again proves that Iran and Hamas claims to be only against Zionism are quite bogus.
