A group of over 700 Hollywood professionals behind the Jewish Protection Group Brigade has issued a statement that condemned the efforts from Artists4ceasefire to promote the “Red Hand” pins to support Gaza to be worn at the 2025 Academy Awards Red Carpet on Sunday.
“That diocese is not a symbol of peace,” said the highly formulated letter. “It’s the emblem for Jewish bloodshed.”
The Brigade – which consists of 700+ producers, filmmakers, agents, managers, publishers, managers and actors – was formed the day after the historic Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023 to focus on messages and support from Israel in Israel in Hollywood.
The letter was sent Monday morning to Artists4ceasefire in response to a message that Pro-Gaza Advocacy Group sent its members on February 20, which encourages the pins to be worn at Awards Season’s red carpets. The e -mail message to Artists4ceasefire members was sent just as Israeli authorities confirmed the deaths to Kfir and Ariel Bibas, two young hostages that were 10 months and 4 years old when taken during October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
Brigade’s statement was added: “On February 20, the same day learned the world, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel were suffocated to death by his terrorist catchers in Gaza, you doubled-raised celebrities to carry your blood-spotted red handsticks. You have no shame? ”
Previously, Artists4ceasefire provided similar diocese to the participants at the Academy Awards 2024, where stars including Billie Eilish, Finneas O’Connell, Ramy Youssef and Ava Duvernay wore them. The organization describes the pins as symbols that support peace and ceasefire efforts in the conflict of Israel-Hamas.
Read the Brigade’s letter in full below:
To the red hand supporters,
We turned the other cheek when you attached a symbol of Jewish murder at your prices.
We took the highway when you cried for a weapon weapon that already existed before Hamas crushed it on October 7.
But today we will not be silent.
On February 20, the same day learned the world, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel were suffocated to death by their terrorist catcher in Gaza, you doubled and became celebrities to proudly carry your blood-spotted red hand.
You have no shame?
That diocese is not a symbol of peace. It is the emblem for Jewish bloodshed.
In 2000, Palestinian terrorists in Ramallah wrapped two innocent Israelis, ripped them apart in the limb and held up their blood soaked hands to a cheering mob. The notorious image is now your “weapon” mark.
And the same day it was discovered that Bibas children – unreasonable Jewish children – were suffocated to death by the terrorist’s bare hands, you asked Hollywood to carry it with pride.
Is this ignorance?
Or is this intentionally, calculated malice?
It’s not peace.
You claim to see humanity on both sides. Yet you …
❌ Ignore the facts about the historical barbaric October 7 terrorist attack against Israel
❌ Press your Anti-Israel story even after Israel agreed to cease with Hamas and Hezbollah.
❌ refuses to condemn Hamas Groteske, sadistic ceasefire tactics.
Did you talk when Hamas:
– Return the hostage on the brink of death, horror, bruises and starvation?
– executed Israeli prisoners after a weapon weapon was reached?
– Did mutilated corpses act while laughing in the faces of grieving families?
Actors, actresses, filmmakers and people in our Hollywood society, read this before you carry that pin again, would you proudly carry the emblem in a lynch?
Would you parade the symbol of people who suffocated children with just hands?
Because that’s what the red hand represents.
To those who wore it without knowing – now you know.
To those who knew and carried it anyway – we see you and we will not be silent.
