As for the pin. You have not established the connection of the pin to the 2002 murders.
The article does. It is a symbol from the second intifada.

Here is a photo of the exact symbol.

No, the article does not.
Fox News states that there are Israelis that claim there is a connection, via a tweet from some dude on twitter with the intent to pervert the message from Artists4ceasfire to foster a cease fire. You linked the wiki article about the double murder from 2002. Which at no point connects the event with any symbols at all. I never claimed the murders didn’t happen, a actually assumed it did happen. Fox News as usual failed in its journalistic responsibility to establish any connection. They assume one because of bias and agenda would be my thoughts on why.

Ok first of all the top article if you read it states that there has been no connection to the symbol and the 2002 murders that they could establish.
And the second article is from the times of Israel. And explicitly stated that its covering what Israelites FEELS it means. It even ends with “i wonder” with the context that they wonder if artists4ceasefire knew, or cares that it makes them think of the 2002 murders. Then again any symbol used would have someone interpret in such a way to change the topic away from establishing a cease fire. More spin.
Again both articles fail to establish the connection. But at the least these two are open with that fact, though the last one is framing it in a way to not have to talk about artists4ceasefire message at all. Fox News assumed it to be true without doing their due diligence, either due to incompetence or to further an agenda.

Well if they feel that way then isn’t that what it means? Liberal ideology is heavily based on feelings.
You keep talking about Fox News when I’ve cited other sources. It’s cited many other places. It’s weird to keep rambling about fox as if they are the only ones to report it.
Here is an article from snopes about it.
