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.
Sums up Hamas and their supporters inc Palestinians:
bloodied hands, evil black hearts.
Perfect for those Oscars terror groupies
Those location of those little red pins makes for a nice target.
The demand that Israel agrees to a “ceasefire” only means that Israel ceases to defend itself. The history of Arab ceasefires shows they are not distinguishable from war. That includes Arab on Arab warfare. Numerous ceasefire days, for example in Lebanese civil war, had multiple ceasefires per day. That involved many of the same groups that are in Gaza.
They confuse the word “ceasefire” with “reload”.
These cosseted fools should visit Gaza to show their support✊️!
Then the dumbshits would learn 1st hand what evil actually looks like, and no matter how much they desperately screamed their solitary with the religion-of-peace, it wouldn’t save them.
It’d be the last, if only, thing of substance they’d ever learn.
So how many still bother to watch these Rigged Award Show anymore? The totally ignored SOUND OF FREEDOM
The Sound of Freedom was a great film, but it would have exposed child trafficking, the ILLEGALS, drug cartels, and pedophiles in Hollywood.
I saw a commercial for the BET/NAACP Award show this coming Saturday night. One of the actresses said, “This is for us.” Like in Segregation, BLACK’S ONLY, and today’s rise of Black Supremacy and raised Black Power fists?
Blacks got their way when they demanded more Blacks be nominated for Oscars… WAIT… based on the Color of their Skin and not the Content of their Acting/Directing Ability? “Thanks Obama!”
Meaningless awards presented to garbage people by other garbage people.
The badge will make the idiots easier to avoid.
Or easier to spot so one can spit them in the face.
Absolutely. I already cancelled plans to see one of the films whose director wore the Pro Hamas, Pro-Genocide pin.
An Israeli actor, his wife and two daughters were kidnapped to Gaza on October 7th … unsurprisingly there was not a word about them by these preening leftists at the oscars
Feel his pain…expressing anger by spit is generally harmless, in face of the vile hatred this spit reacts to.
They might as well return to wearing swatikas again. I remember those two soldiers being torn apart by a pack of jackets. There will never be peace with Islamofascist invaders
That’s next. Maybe the “Hitler 2” clothing boutique in Gaza sells them, if it hasn’t been pulverized (as it should be). Hitler is one of the few non Muslims who is popular among the Pseudostinians.
A reminder that Hollywood’s, Washington DC’s, the Hague’s and WEF’s elitists hate you and, if you aren’t one of them, want you dead.
I thank God almighty and His son Jesus Christ I am NOT one of the demon-possessed, dementiacratic, pedophilic, baby-sacrificing, antisemitic self-selected “elites.”
Yeshua Messiah Jesus Christ Lord Savior is Jewish – IS because HE took HIS body with HIM. Yeshua is Jewish and will always be Jewish and will be Jewish when HE returns to Jerusalem after occupies the temple claiming to be the Christ when satan is the antichrist.
Thanks. I love your writings. But, you’re too kind here. Online there are pictures of what is supposed to be cannibalism of Jewish body parts, during the incident you describe, by Palestinians killers. Yes, the same Palestinians the world cries for.
That Hollywood wears a symbol of bloody murder of Jews and even possible cannibalism is far more deliberate and shameful and shocking than you suggest. It’s a blood thirsty (maybe literally) call to kill Jewish human beings. That is what it means and all it means. Are some Hollywood vegans too stupid or high on drugs and money to know this?
That is possible. But like the entertainers that played for the Nazis in WWII, they are responsible for their choice to display this. And guilty.
BTW…science if you are more on a keto diet and mushrooms you stand a better chance to avoid Alzheimer’s. Unless you’re a lying demonic SOB like Joe Briben who blew out his mind with pathological lies
Projection … it is Hamas that has blood on its hands and a black heart.
… accusing Israelis of murder and hatred is a literal projection and defamation of a victim.
Imagine the family of a rape-murder victim being accused of murder and hatred for showing up in court to see justice done on the perpetrator.
Of course, it’s par for this course. Leftism and Islam are both evil ideologies dedicated to murder, hatred, and lies … all of their True Believers are full of hatred and have blood on their hands … the rest are morons suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect.
it is Hamas that has blood on its hands and a black heart – that’s what’s behind the satanic lapel pin – nazzi hamazz is proud of the blood on it’s hands!
IMAGINE if someone wore a RED MAGA HAT! Now that would have been worth watching heads explode! De Niro would have surely had a breakdown.
And an overrated octogenarian actor departs the mortal coil…
It would take years of therapy to make him whole again — assuming he has ever been whole in the first place. The poor man.
//sarc off//
Those two smug idiots in the picture have no idea what they are supporting. Maybe they should go to Gaza and do their silly virtue signaling there….but we know what would happen. They would be protected by the palleyswinians and allowed to say whatever they want.
With any luck the IDF would take them out.
They know they hate Jews and that it’s “chic” and “daring” if they remember to shrill, “We’re not antisemitic, we’re ‘Anti-Zionist’!”
No where (except perhaps an oil sheikhdom where first cousin marriages are the norm) are there as many obscenely rich people who are uneducated and really quite stupid as in Hollywood. We don’t need their political pronouncements, a practice pioneered by the hideously ugly, vastly overrated and really quite stupid Vanessa Redgrave. Any Hollywood figure who tries to enliven a dull, pretentious cattle call like the Oscarcast with his/her/their/its notion of political controversy should be booed off stage, irrespective of the content of that controversy.
Once again, while I totally agree with Robert and also with everyone else writing for FPM on the topic of the Israel-Hamas war …
… I am terribly frustrated …
WHY CAN’T WE CALL FOR HAMAS TO SURRENDER?!
… Seriously. The war would end, and the lives of Gazans would be saved. Job done.
… And. In a humanitarian way that those who have not taken a side should, could, or can agree with. e.g. Muslim nations that have not joined Hamas. African nations that have avoided the issue out of fear of their Muslim populations. Etc.
But … since the 10/7 atrocity …
… it’s hard to hear anyone call for Hamas surrender.
Yes, we know the Left hates Israel … and many Losertarians on our side have abandoned Israel to their shame …
… why don’t we shout it from the rooftops? “Hamas should surrender!”
… and the blood of Gazans is on their hands.
I’ve heard Bibi say it a couple of times, but it should be the first thing we say to anyone on this topic.
(oh, btw, the Demokkkrats hate you all – and that was my reason for being here – to tell you guys that the Demokkkrats hate you as much as they hate the rest of us – but since Mark Levin just published a book “The Democrats hate America” … the memo has been received and I guess I have nothing to add.)
G-d save Israel … and protect the IDF until Gaza is a parking lot.
Marks of the Satan.
HellyWeird protrays and hypocritical pure image – but they sell their soul to the devil to work in the industry or are demonic to begin with.
HellyWeird is consistent on vile hypocrisy. Not the hard working technicians that are in the background of what it takes to make a movie. These fools that get millions of dollars to bore audiences with lousy acting. Save, Jack Nicholson and Orson Welles. When my 1972 college classmate Arnold shot off his mouth to dis President Trump, following a string of these whores doing the same, like mafia made men, it became blatant.
Meathead Rob Riner who was born with a silver spoon up his nose disses Israel as a self loathing Jew and his continual tirade against President Trump are all going to rue the day when they sold their soul.
For all the Jewish studio heads and producers keeping silent is the same as condoning antisemitism.
The day of yelling, I didn’t know is coming near – and they did know. They decided to sell their soul and compromise their eternal life.

Stephen Decatur, please report for duty. Your 200+ year vacation is over.
Interesting, the lynching of Israelis in Ramallah in 2000 took place within spitting distance of the home of “moderate Palestinian spokeswoman Hanan Ashrawi”, who has twice been caught peddling blood libels about Jews. A year later, during the live coverage of 09/11, her former boyfriend Peter Jennings gave her 45 minutes in which to insert fatuous propaganda. He was so upset that 09/11 might undermine the Palestinian cause that he resumed smoking (during the Munich Olympic Massacre, Jennings refused to refer to the terrorist who massacred Israeli athletes as terrorists, preferring the term “commandos”). He later died of lung cancer.
The lynching in Ramallah would have been completely ignored by the media except that a private television network in Italy captured the event live. The state run network RAI in Italy sent the Palestinian Authority an obsequious letter assuring it that it would never present news that was harmful to the Palestinian cause.
How can genocide of Jews be harmful to the cause – the world agrees with the Islamofascists
Oscars? What Oscars. Who gives a good God damb?
Since I don’t watch tv I didn’t know the oscars were still around. Why would anyone want to watch a bunch of narcissistic back slappers (stabbers) anyway.
Micheal Moore’s little rant against Bush got him Booed off the stage
Do these ignorant virtuous Hollywood Jew haters wearing that ‘Bloodied Red Hand’ pin understand what that pin symbolizes? Do they know that their Palestinian ‘heroes’ were so hopped up on blood lust depravity in that October, 2000 lynching that some resorted to canibalism after their butchery of the two IDF soldiers?
WARNING: Shockingly graphic.
Not that I’m into PsyOps anymore (I’m retired), but a little Photoshop editing might be appropriate for a meme. Perhaps a little white circle with a swastika imbedded on their red pin would be fitting and accurate. Hamas would certainly agree.
I was in Israel at that time and I remember those posters everywhere. They were sickening to look at. They still are.
Hollywood is very woke and as such should be allowed to go broke
It’s a good bet most of these Hollywood poseurs know anything about the back story of the “causes” they sign on to. Every Jew in America should take note of who wore these pins or spoke of the plight of the “poor, oppressed Gazans” and never attend or watch their movies. The only thing they really understand is fame and money. Take that away and they’ll be back at the carwash where they belong.
