Elder of Ziyon
At the Oscars on Sunday night, some of the Hollywood glitterati wore "ceasefire pins" designed by "Artists for Palestine."
The pins depict a reddish hand on a red background with a heart in the palm.
Zionists, including the Government of Israel's X account, immediately associated this symbol with the image of the lynching of Israeli soldiers Vadim Nurzhitz and Yossi Avrahami in Ramallah in 2000 and the bloody hands displayed by the murderers in front of a cheering crowd.
The red background [is] to symbolize the urgency of the call to save lives. The orange hand conveys the beautiful community of people from all backgrounds that have come together in support of centering our shared humanity. The heart being cradled in the center of the hand is an invitation for us to lead with our hearts, always, to lead with love.I don't know if the group is being truthful or not but their explanation seems unlikely.
Palestinians regard the murderers as "heroic"even today. The photo of the lynching is well known to Palestinians. And the crazed Palestinians outside the police station ripped the soldiers apart and had one of their hearts in their hands, quite literally.
There must have been someone on the Artists for Palestine committee who knew this.
Beyond that, to think that anyone who hates Israel doesn't think of the phrase "blood on their hands" when they see a red hand is a liar. Protesters have been painting their hands red (not orange) from the beginning of the war, this photo from an October Senate hearing. It doesn't look like an orange hand.
However, there is another connection between the idiotic "ceasefire now" Hollywood stars and the lynchers in Ramallah close to 24 years ago.
They both act based on slanderous lies about Israel.
The person in the photo above with the bloody hands, Abdel Aziz Salha, was interviewed by Electronic Intifada in 2013. He was released from prison in the Shalit deal and was sent to Gaza, where he was treated as a hero. Hamas provided him with "a spacious, well-decorated apartment ten minutes from the sea."
He describes why he was filled with such rage in Ramallah:
“Earlier on that day, one Palestinian from Ramallah was murdered by Israeli settlers from a settlement neighboring Ramallah,” Salha said in a low voice. “After they had killed him, they cut his ears and threw his body. This is the reason there were thousands of protestors across Ramallah on that day, and accidentally, we got the word that there were two Israeli soldiers held in one Ramallah police station.”
But even Electronic Intifada admits that the rumors weren't true.
Salha was referring to the death of a Palestinian man who was reported to have been savagely killed by Israeli settlers. His funeral procession was the angry crowd that the Israeli reservists had come across. A forensic investigation by Physicians for Human Rights later found that the man was most likely killed in a car accident.
The false rumor whipped the crowd into a frenzy and that very possibly is why Vadim Nurzhitz and Yossi Avrahami were lynched.
Lies become incitement, and incitement kills. The lie that Israel is wantonly murdering Palestinians is resulting in Jews being killed today in Israel. And that is a lie that the Hollywood stars are eagerly pushing, because they think that a "ceasefire" that leaves the 10/7 terrorists free to plan the next 10/7 is a good thing.
Whether the designer of the pin consciously aped the Ramallah photo or not, the slanders behind both stories are the same. And they result in murder.
