The Oscars are always a superb occasion for leftists to indulge in an orgy of virtue-signaling, and this year was no different. Foes of Israel sported little round pins featuring a red hand with a black heart in the palm, which even for them was a bizarre and ham-fisted way to show the world that they want Israel to stop fighting and Hamas to live. It recalled nothing more vividly than a notorious Palestinian jihad massacre which, despite having taken place over twenty years ago, is still recalled with horror among Israelis and supporters of Israel.
NPR reported happily on Monday that “a notable accessory on Sunday’s red carpet was a red pin featuring a hand with a black heart in the middle. Celebrities like Billie Eilish, Ramy Youssef and Mark Ruffalo wore the pins in support of Artists4Ceasefire, a group of advocates and artists that opposes the Israel-Hamas war.” The luminaries explain that the pin “symbolizes collective support for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the release of all of the hostages and for the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza.” This explanation, however, doesn’t really clarify much.
At first glance, it looks as if these enlightened artists are being soberly even-handed: they want “the release of all of the hostages and for the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza.” So Israel gets its people who are being held hostage back and allegedly starving Gazans get their humanitarian aid. Sounds great, right?
The statement, however, also calls for “an immediate and permanent ceasefire,” which may seem like a call for peace for a moment, but it actually means that instead of being destroyed, Hamas will survive and be able to murder more Israeli civilians. Hamas top dog Ghazi Hamad said it back in October 2023, just a couple of weeks after the Oct. 7 jihad massacre: “We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood,” that is, the attack on Oct. 7, “is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth.” This prophecy, however, will only come true if Hamas gets a ceasefire that will enable it to regroup and recover.
This makes it clear that the red hands, black heart symbolism is not just a reference to the horrors of war in general, it’s an indictment of Israel, as Israeli leaders have repeatedly declared that they intend to fight on until Hamas is completely destroyed, and they don’t want to accept a ceasefire that will force them to stop before the job is done.
The pins, however, have an even more ghastly resonance.
Back on Oct. 12, 2000, two IDF reservists, Yossi Avrahami and Vadim Nurzhitz, mistakenly entered the city of Ramallah, which was and is under Palestinian control. An enraged mob set upon them and lynched them then mutilated their bodies. One of the killers, a Palestinian named Aziz Salha, recounted, “We were in a craze to see blood. I entered the room…I saw an Israeli soldier sprawled on the floor in front of the door. I came closer to him and saw a knife lodged in his back, near his right shoulder. I removed the knife and stabbed him in the back two or three times… while others in the room continued to kick him. I put my hand over his mouth and the other on his shoulder, in order to strangle him.”
Salha continued: “I saw that my hands were drenched with blood, and so was my shirt.” So he did what any bloodthirsty murderer who knows that he is in the company of other bloodthirsty murderers would do: “So I went over to the window and I waved my hands at the people who were in the courtyard.”

The Times of Israel explains, “The disturbing image is deeply rooted in the memory of many Israelis and later became a symbol of the horrifying attack.” The virtue-signalers at the Oscars didn’t know it, but their pins recalled for many Israelis what has become emblematic of the bloodlust, ruthlessness, and hatred of their enemies.
And that was fitting. If the leftist actors get their way, there will be new massacres of Israelis, and more Palestinians gleefully displaying the blood on their hands. Without realizing it, Oscar night showed the world what the result would be of the ceasefire that all the right-thinking people are calling for these days.
He’ll is having to excavate in order to expand the realm in order to take in the increasing number of vile evil people that infest our planet- people that are so vile and despicable that they show their undying love and admiration for a group of maggots who literally gang-raped to death men women and children, and her blow themselves up because their antisemitic hatred of jews is so great that murdering jews is the only thing they want in life.
Nothing says “Follower of Satan” quite like oscars spokespeople wearing pins that celebrate the death of jews
Hell I meant- dang autocorrect
Disgusting HollyWeird conformist shit fer brains.
These clowns make the movies that you see and might even pay (me never!) to see.
My most recent movie is Oppenheimer. But it all gets boring after the A-Bomb blasts in Japan. But I will watch this part of Oppenheimer’s persecution. Plus the filmmaker Nolan was right in including Oppenheimer’s downhill slide.
I liked the part where General Leslie Groves said. That choosing Oppenheimer to direct our A-bomb project, was the best decision of his life. Groves well played by Matt Damon.
The real life Leslie Groves
Btw, who is that ghoulish looking woman, if it is?
Billie Eilish and her brother.
you know, there would be a ceasefire tomorrow if the hostages were released - all of them.
Yes. I’m amazed they didn’t cut a deal with Joe to at least get the 8 or 9 Americans out. He could have built them a port for them.
They better not appropriate my red hand motif
Sons of bitches
I have a suggestion. An enterprising independent film maker should contact the communications bureau of the Israeli government, and negotiate an agreement to use most if not all of the compiled footage taken during and immediately after the October 7th massacre in Israel. This would be to put together a documentary about that obscene terrorist atrocity.
It should be interwoven with footage and narrative regarding the psychological brainwashing and propaganda that led to the blood thirsty motivation of Palestinian youth and people to so willingly engage in such a crime against humanity. The epilogue would consist of additional footage and narrative explaining the anti Semitic hysteria that followed worldwide, all inclusive of the facts we have now at hand, and exposing the lies we have heard.
This would either give the Biden administration and pro terrorist leftists reason to censor and suppress the truth yet again, or force the issue to be debated and perhaps see a change in anti Israeli, anti Semitic hatred worldwide. Would it really? Regardless, it is time to show the footage, unedited and raw, to those who really need to see it.
This might have an effect on this “Red Hand” symbolism.
