npub1j8m6n55er97404gz59f35yt7h22lqh9dk5algdxlnza90paca7hsk5v5r7 (npub1j8m…v5r7) I mean, not for nothing, and I’m sure you won’t believe me, but the story you tell about the pin is the story the Israeli marketing department put out. The real story: the origin of Red Hand symbolism actually dates back centuries before Israel's occupation.
