And everything to do with the “bloody history of pogroms and the slaughter of Jews in the Middle East.” The image of a red hand has recently gained popularity among American celebrities and leftists as a symbol representing a call for a “permanent ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, this is a gross misappropriation.
Canary Mission On June 1-2, 1941, on the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, a pogrom was carried out against the Jewish community of Baghdad, Iraq. This pogrom is known as the Farhud, which means “forced dispossession.”
Before the pogrom, red hands were painted on Jewish houses. The rioters, who carried knives and swords, looted Jewish houses, burned them, and then proceeded to kill, torture and mutilate Jews. The Farhud occurred right after the defeat of Iraq’s pro-Nazi government which had been formed by Rashid Ali al-Kailani and the British. It was inspired by Nazi propaganda broadcasted throughout Iraq.
The pogrom lasted for two days. Some sources say 180 Jews were killed and 240 wounded, with 99 Jewish homes destroyed and 586 Jewish-owned businesses looted. Other sources estimate the numbers much higher.
In addition to the 180 identified bodies, another 600 unidentified bodies were buried in a mass grave. Documents from the Iraqi Jewish Archive state that over 1,000 Jews were murdered or went missing.
During the Second Intifada, the red hand once again signaled the slaughter of Jews, when a picture of a Palestinian jubilantly holding up his blood-stained hands after killing two Israelis circulated the world.
On October 12, 2000, two Israelis, who were reservist drivers in the Israel Defense Forces, were driving a civilian vehicle and took a wrong turn into the Palestinian city of Ramallah, just minutes from Jerusalem.
They were promptly arrested by Palestinian police and taken to a police station. A lynch mob broke into the station, beat and stabbed the men, gouged out their eyes and disemboweled them. After their heinous crime, one of the murderers went to the window and held up his two bloodstained hands to a cheering crowd below.
The Israelis’ bodies were then thrown out the window, where they were further beaten by the crowd and then set on fire. The crowd then dragged the mutilated bodies to the city center to celebrate.
The red hand is a symbol of the slaughter of Jews and carries painful memories of abuse, murder and violent antisemitism. A ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict means Hamas lives another day to carry out their stated goal of more October 7-style attacks against the Jewish people until the Jewish people cease to exist.
Hollywood celebrities always look so arrogant, soulless, possessed of something demonic.
They’d be right cheerleaders for PISSLAM which has all those qualities.
I have an idea as to the red hands. What if we would punch all that wear this sighn them in the face. What if by hitting them we say with thanks from us Jews and that we do not forget. How about that, this would let them know that we are here and not silent then a silent victim is better and easyer to put down. Just an idea that i follow, ok sometimes you have to run and sometimes you will feel the hate but it is worth it.
What a great post about a horrible remembrance. Thank you!
I knew about the Second Intifada story but not about the older story until now.
God Bless you.
Thank you. 😌
Ghazi Hamad needs a high velocity lead injection, as do the rabid Muslim filth that call for the destruction of Israel. The land was never theirs, but the Muslim liars keep repeating the same lie until they get the soft-in-the-head Hollywood crowd and others to follow.
How I long for the day we witness a permanent erasure of the curse of Islam and the plague of Muslims soiling the Earth!
But even that sewerage from Mooslamic Hell cannot compare with the filth that walks the streets of today’s Hollywood.
Thanks for this update.
Whatever Hollywood weirdoes do is exported everywhere. I’ll keep an eye out for those bloodied red hands.
