The hand remains per the promise in a literal sense, yet at a very high cost. Recall in the Gospels that in response to Pontius Pilate's declaration that he washes his hands of the blood of our Lord, those clamoring for His death called down upon themselves a curse: "Let his blood be on us and our children!" (Matt. 27:25)

That isn't antisemitism, that's simply what the Scriptures state. Therefore the unrest depicted in some end times scenarios may indeed play out to the tune of a tragic and horrifying cost in human life, yet within the bounds of providence.

Yeah but it wasn’t the whole people of Israel clamoring. It was an elite ruling class. That’s what “the Jews” always refers to in John’s Gospel. The author of John’s Gospel may well have had close ties to that ruling elite (he tell us that the Apostle John was known to the High Priest).

So you are using this prooftext falsely.

You may very well be right!

No scenario I read in Scripture sounds like a walk in
the park.

“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.” Zech 12:10
