To most of us, last night’s “blood moon” was a rare phenomenon and sight to behold, something to take in and appreciate for its grandeur and beauty.
For others, it was yet another opportunity to co-opt something, make it all about themselves, and turn it into a propaganda opportunity.
The following appeared in numerous anti-Israel Telegram channels and posts elsewhere on social media (hat tip: Uri):
Blood Moon (Gaza)

But unlike the “blood moon”, this is not a rare occurrence. They find a way to co-op absolutely anything, whether it be Jesus, the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Schindler’s List, Anne Frank, the Ten Year Challenge, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Coca Cola, Jewish and Israeli food, the Mr Men books… the list goes on and on. Heck, they even co-opted the phrase “Free Palestine” (no joke!)
The Israel-haters truly love creating ridiculous, self-absorbed propaganda to the moon and back.
But they don’t reach for the stars – just for the next cheap slogan.
