Actor Guy Pearce was spotted last night wearing an “artists4ceasefire” pin. But how can it symbolize peace when the red, bloody hand on the pin represents the brutal lynching of two Jews with bare hands? Perhaps he doesn’t understand its true meaning—he’s an actor, not an Israeli, Palestinian, or Middle East scholar. But after months of explaining that this symbol fuels hatred of Jews, wearing it now shows blatant disregard for Jewish lives. And if he does know its meaning yet still wears it under the guise of peace, that’s not ignorance—it’s dishonesty. This symbol is not about peace. It never was, and we all know it.
