The Oscars — Hollywood’s night of pomp and self-indulgence — still draws eyeballs and provides a chance for political theater. 2024 saw a group of Beautiful People get their anti-Semite freak on by wearing bloody-hand-print, pro-Hamas pins.

Can someone please tell the actors who wore a red pin with a hand to protest the war that they used imagery Jews associate with the 2000 Ramallah lynching of two Israelis.

And you better believe that the person who designed the pin knows it. pic.twitter.com/lF6uXdnTUH

“Lynching” is too soft a term for what happened to the two Israelis. They were literally butchered with a savagery that has been visited upon Jews time and again for a few thousand years and witnessed on Oct 7. Not just the acceptability of savagery against Jews, but its celebration by “Palestinians” across Gaza, Judea and Samaria.

And the tacit support of such savagery was also on display 7,500 miles from Gaza on the red carpet in Los Angeles. Stupid or evil?

In the months since Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel, protesters have repeatedly used the symbol of bloody hands to condemn the Jewish state’s war against the Palestinian terror group. It has been part of a trend of anti-Israel activists evoking the language of Palestinian terrorism. Outside the Oscars, hundreds of protesters blocked traffic and chanted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a rallying cry for Palestinian terrorism that has become commonplace at such rallies.
