My Sicilian grandfather sported a red handlebar mustache, not exactly standard issue among that generally darker-haired population. This must mean he was not mafia-affiliated, right?

Any idiot who falls for this flimsy level of genetic-variation propaganda deserves to cohabit a corner jail cell with Netanyahu and wear a dunce cap while being forced to listen to Bibi spout invectives in Hebrew.

Hi Vin

I am of several Mediterranean nationalties, including Moorish, and am the only blonde in a family of dark-haired people. Or was. As I noted in another post here I had my hair colored dark brown in solidarity with my peeps.

I look gorgeous too 😉

I had seen it in MOMA in NYC, but that was many years ago, then recently stumbled upon it online; and immediately thought of you when I saw it again, since you're the only gorgeous gypsy I know.

I’m a redhead. My family comes from Treviso, in the north, and Basilicata in the South of Italy. My grandfather from the south was blond and blue eyes so was my father with a slight variation, green eyes. What’s this stupidity Satanyahu is doing? Sick and tired of this white supremacy.

The Bibas family is not happy about Netanyahus claims either

Spot on, Susan. If you read the family lawyer's letter to the Israeli govt. . . .

Looks like Israeli govt. is invading the family's privacy to -- in the family's opinion -- satisfy a societal voyeuristic instinct, which I interpret as other-speak for the bloody Netanyahu government's using the family's misery for propaganda. It's a disgusting commentary on a disgusting regime.

Same here with my Italian father from Molise, whose father, my grandpa, looked like so many Arab men then and today.

Ah yes, Roberto. History informs us about southern Europe as genetic melting pot, especially Sicily where Vikings, North African Arabs and others "deposited their genes". As Waldo Jeffers points out below, Bibas, a Greek surname, likely originates in this southeastern European gene pool. (Semitic, mio culo!) Whether they also came up the Adriatic coast to Molise is, I'd say, pretty likely.

As the father of a beautiful redheaded daughter of German, Irish, and English ancestry, I would like to sue Satanyahu for attempting to exploit her radiant tresses to continue his genocide.

"Every redhead will remind us" of one thing: indigenous Levantines don't have red hair. Even in Ireland and Scotland they're only 10% or so of the population. And oh yeah, Bibas is a Greek surname.

They had to come up with something to counter the image of the Israeli hostage that kissed his Hamas captors goodbye https://www.instagram.com/p/DGX5JmtoXlZ/. We certainly will not see anyone kissing their Israeli captors goodbye.

Very good PR, Feral Finster - I think not. You and I know that only brainless uncaring fools will savour such cruelty. It is humanity descending to the lowest depths of the swamp. With 'Red headed white kids' - couldn't find blue eyed blond ones? - they are imitating the Nazis.

This coming after the AI generated video of two of the world's worst specimens of mankind living it up on the graveyard of children they slayed very recently is beyond belief.

What does it say for the rulers of the Western powers that they not only went along with the war criminal's PR but lighted up their iconic landmarks in solidarity!

I am waiting here in Australia for the opposition leader to criticise the government for not lighting up the Opera House!

Sure, it's crude. Doesn't matter, if it gets results. I think Goebbels, who had a certain practical experience in the matter, said as much. Propaganda doesn't need to be clever but effective.

People should be placing the blame where it belongs which is on Israel and the Western powers who have been promoting genocide in Palestine since the '40's.My heart does ache for these babies as it does for all the babies murdered in Palestine by the Zionist agenda. It's a sick world where a country murders women and children and blames it all on the people being murdered.

The owners of the MSM. those not owned / comtrolled by Jews, must surely be aware of the lies and media manipulations as part of the daily offerings to the naive and gullible populations, Western white Christians predominantly. To still see those “independent” owners printing and broadcasting the trash that is dished out through those news sources, almost straight from the press desk of the genocidal Netanyahu, is incredible after all this time, when anyone with an ounce of intelligence would know it is generated by the greatest liars unhung, Israel. USA totally involved as well.

Netanyahu is trying to emulate the skillful PR coverage of Joseph Goebbels of WWII fame who one can safely day had no reason to step as low as the current day Israel. The fact that Israel get so much biased media space by the likes of the BBC, the Australian equivalent and in so many others countries as well, is the real crime. Check out the connections of the senior management of both and you will understand the connection.

Just another Israeli claim to fame. The greatest liars ever.

In this case, the Israeli family of Bibas has made some serious questions of their government. Of course, Netanyahu will find a way to make them disappear off the front pages……and quickly. Naturally, with Trumps help.

Netanyahu would be unlikely to even visit the bathroom without Trump’s approval.

OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?

Even an Israeli court rejected Kugel's lies on behalf of IDF sniper Taysir Hayb in the killing of 22-year-old British citizen Thomas Hurndall. And Israel NEVER convicts IDF personnel. But it did in the Hurndall killing.

They will dare anything to get what they want which is a100% Zionist state purged of Arabs, Christians and anyone else who isn’t Jewish or at least pretend they are to get get free real estate in Palestine. The horrible irony is rabbis who are trying to tell the world this land grab has nothing to do with the Jewish faith and that they stand with Palestinians are ignored.

The people who believe anything that comes out of Netanyahu’s mouth are already fully captured and this PR crap only burnishes his credentials as a blatant liar and con man.

This reminds me of the so-called Belgian Atrocities scheme to convince Europeans that the German soldiers under the Kaiser in WWI were all monsters who were raping and brutalizing Belgian women and children. It was published in many newspapers, I believe, and served its purpose in getting folk to commit to a horrible war in which as many as a third of British boys and men died under unthinkably awful conditions. And for what? The fact that the babies supposedly killed by Hamas fighters were red-headed is the dead giveaway of the underlying racism in this campaign. But all such campaigns serve mainly the interests of shadowy powers who have their own agendas. Let's ask more questions, like, say, how many children with brown, black or dark blonde hair, who happen to be Palestinians, have been slaughtered, perhaps deliberately during the attempt to clear Gaza of its people, not just Hamas.

This is so sickening. And it's appalling that countries are flying the color orange. Do they even know what they're doing? I guess I'm a masochist, for I watch the News Hour every night. And on that program, which I think is better than most, they are so uneven-handed. They spent 10 mins on two different nights talking about the Bibas family, interviewing neighbors, highlighting where the mother was standing holding her kids before they were taken, how their deaths affected Israeli citizens. Of course it generates a great deal of sympathy, anyone would have wanted them to return alive, but what about all those Palestinian mothers and fathers, what about those kids orphaned, what about those who had to undergo amputations without anesthesia? Most of the Palestinians don't speak English, whereas most Israelis do, and that underscores how different they are from us. I wish there were a god who would visit retribution on Israel for their wickedness.

I have NOT heard of the temples in any of the western nations that have en masse denounced zionism, expelled all zionists from its congregation, excomunicated any members inolved in the genocide and begun an anti-zionism prevention programme,

Temples in Wash DC, Berlin, London.....looking at YOU here. Because all of this is being done by specific PEOPLE.

So in the meantime I think we can lay the blame on complict people and their enablers - and not on any vague "zionism" concept.

The fact that these kids had red hair don’t mean shit from shinola. On my visits to Ireland, I never saw so many red-haired children; did the bastard Brits ever apologize for murdering, starving and deporting them? Nope, thought not.

While I’m sorry these children were killed by IsraHelli bombs, having red hair doesn’t make them more “special” than the tens of thousand of dead dark-haired Palestinian children. I still recall when Putin launched his special ops, the MSM was lamenting the fact that the Ukrainians were “so much like us! They have blonde hair and blue eyes!”

And so goes the continuing prejudice against brown, black and red people.

I was the only blonde child born into a Mediterranean family of dark haired people. I recently had my hair colored dark brown.

Solidarity.
