Is there any explanation for the red hands gesture that isn't "this is a bloodthirsty gesture in clear support of the murder of Jews"?

Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert was due to speak at the @OxfordUnion today. Protestors blocked the entrance, some jumped the fence. Event cancelled. One may smile, and smile, and be an anti-Semite.
I *think* red hands symbology comes from the 2000 lynching of 2 IDF soldiers in Ramallah Which, if true, is just plainly pro-Jew-murder. But my brain has a disconnect with this. How could people be so plainly and proudly pro-murder?
