The Brigade, a group of more than 700 filmmakers, PR people and studio executives in support of Israel following Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre in the country, called out Artists4Ceasefire in a public statement this week after learning of the group's plans to get industry figures to wear the red pins at this season's awards shows, including the Academy Awards. 

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

"I'm reaching out to see if might consider wearing an Artists4Ceasefire pin at the ceremony this weekend and add her name to our letter," the letter read, specifically referring to the Spirit Awards that occurred on Sunday. 

The pro-Israel group expressed outrage over the fact that the Arrtist4Ceasefire message was sent out the same day that Israeli authorities confirmed the murders of Israeli children Kfir and Ariel Bibas at the hands of Hamas.

The two children were 10 months and 4 years old when they were kidnapped by the terror group and held hostage in Gaza. Their parents, Yarden and Shiri Bibas, were also taken hostage. However, Yarden, the father, was the only one who survived his captivity. 

The Brigade's statement read, "On Feb. 20, 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. Have you no shame?"

The statement continued, noting how offensive the pins are to Jewish people. 

"In 2000, Palestinian terrorists in Ramallah lynched two innocent Israelis, ripped them apart limb by limb, and held up their blood-soaked hands to a cheering mob. That infamous image is now your 'ceasefire' badge."

Artists4Ceasefire has previously described the pin, stating, "the red background [is] to symbolize the urgency of the call to save lives. The orange hand conveys the beautiful community of people from all backgrounds that have come together in support of centering our shared humanity. The heart being cradled in the center of the hand is an invitation for us to lead with our hearts, always, to lead with love."

Artists4Ceasefire did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
