I’m suggesting it’s more likely that the red arrow Hamas uses is referring to the holocaust instead of the arab identity. Why would they highlight targets in their propaganda videos with their own ethnic identity when they have an extensive history of antisemitism?
No I understood you. I know you’re suggesting that, and your source is that it looks similar to a symbol that most people don’t even know and that wasn’t antisemitic to begin with because it was used for a variety of political prisoners.
Look you can cast doubt on what Hamas was thinking internally, by all means. But the generally accepted origin (which is what matters) is the Palestinian flag. So when you act like this symbol is definitely a symbol of antisemitism you’re stooping to tankie-level campist discourse and spreading misinformation.
It’s not a label. They’re not saying “hey here’s the jew symbol, there’s jews inside”. They used it to mark their targets “Here’s our symbol, that’s where we strike.”
oh, no, you misunderstand me.

Okay, so why would Hamas highlight their enemies with the Palestinian flag?
Why wouldn’t they?

Why don’t’ they use the symbol as it appears in their own flag, ie pointing right?
Instead they use it pointing down like the Nazis did.
So it’s just a call of duty decal?
What about the rampant antisemitism?
