The Israeli government is responding after celebrities including Billie Eilish and Mark Ruffalo sported red pins at the Oscars, which they believe symbolizes "bloodlust."
I love how the overlap of people dumb enough to buy into bullshit like this, but intelligent enough to both want to, and be able to figure out how to use lemmy, is you and like 3 other people.
There’s nothing to disprove, the article doesn’t prove those celebrities are supporting lynching.
On the other hand, I do support lynching the IDF. Preferably more along the lines of Nuremberg-style court-sentenced hangings like we did with the nazis, but I’m not picky.
So you are citing a Fox News article, so that’s -1 off the bat.
The article itself did not properly tie the celebrities to the lynching.
The article talks about how Israelis consider the pin to be associated with an event in 2002. That involved 2 victims. Which is not only a stretch, but even if it were true, still does not mean the celebrities would be in on its secret meaning.
Honestly, i feel no matter the symbol that was chosen i am sure that there would be some connection made to discredit their actual motivation, which is to pressure a cease fire. Which is objectively moral.
Also even if it was true, the assertion that wearing the pin makes one an antisemite is false because Israel is not the Jewish people. You cannot blame all Jews for the war crimes of Israel, and Israel cannot frame criticism against it as antisemitism.

Just puts a big smile on my face.
You have a cite to disprove the article?

So a symbol is celebrated, and lynching isn’t about lynching. Gotcha.

Find a better media diet.
Does the pin predate that event?
