(JEWISH GROUP) Jewish Hollywood Slams Protest Pins on Oscars Red Carpet After Bibas Bodies Release: "Have You No Shame?"

(IN CASE YOU MISSED IT IN THE SUBJECT LINE: THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!)

The Brigade, a group founded by PR, studio executives and filmmakers in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on southern Israel, has issued a strongly worded statement in response to an organized effort by Artists4Ceasefire which asks attendees of the 2025 Academy Awards to wear red hand pins in support of Gaza.

"Today, we will not be silent," reads the statement. "That pin is no symbol of peace. It is the emblem of Jewish bloodshed."

The Artists4Ceasefire letter was sent on Feb. 20, coinciding with the release of the bodies of the youngest hostages taken from their homes - Kfir and Ariel Bibas, 10 months and 4 at the time of their abduction and subsequent murder at the hands of their captors, per Israeli medical authorities.

"On February 20th, the same day the world learned 10-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel were strangled to death by their terrorist captors in Gaza, you doubled down - urging celebrities to proudly wear your bloodstained red hand pin," the Brigade writes. "Have you no shame?"
