So odd the phrase "blood libel". I keep thinking it's like a little tag for my blood type.

Millennial here. I don't know the first thing about jew hatred.
However... Israeli's seem to be doing their absolute best to earn some hate.
And declare themselves all Jews everywhere.
Israeli’s seem to be doing their absolute best to earn some hate.
They've been doing that since '48, to be honest - it was only in the Year Of Our Lord 2025 that the truth about Israel managed to dodge western mainstream media selectivity en-masse for the first time.
Better decades late than never, I guess.
Seriously! I remember living in the States finding weird social attitudes like people being unable to criticize Israel without being labeled antisemitic. Or the seemingly random hatred for communism even though the Cold War was not present in people's minds regardless of whether they knew what it was, or being called gay for the stupidest things. What a baffling culture it was sometimes.
His many idiots are gonna get really into hating Jews because of this? Seriously, this is the best PR campaign hating Jews has ever had, Goebbels could not gave done better. The Zionists are making daddy proud.
Probably none that weren't already antisemitic. Anyone who's aware enough of the situation to support Palestine likely recognizes that Israel and the Jewish people are two different things.
The only people who conflate the two are either paid to do so by Israeli interests, or are looking for an excuse to express the hatred they already have.
I think a young person whose favorite or younger sibling's favorite wholesome kids person is saying 'please stop murdering children' getting called something for saying 'please stop murdering children' is going to think the thing they're getting called is good and the right thing to be.
And, being slightly less charitable: Americans are painfully stupid reflexive reactionaries who believe in nothing. We can make that distinction. They cannot.
Which is by design. Israelis are constantly told that they are alone against the world, that literally everyone is an enemy, not because of the horrible shit the Israeli government does on a daily basis, but because of the ancient hatred of Jews.
To be fair, there's a lot of ancient hatred to go around, but after the Holocaust, most civilized nations said no more, and then immediately allowed the newly formed Israeli government to act like 18th century colonizers.
Eve. Eve. The defining part of blood libel is that it’s false. It’s not blood libel if there are kids fucking dying and Israel is the one sending bombs at them!
It has libel right in the name. This is blood pointing out.
Some would say Eve Barlow is doing blood libel.
That was exactly my reaction. The premise you have to accept in order to regard the original statement as blood libel, is in of itself fundamentally antisemitic.
Yes but we're all antisemites.
No. Wanting children to not be murdered is antisemitic. Basically Hitler.
It would be a blood libel if they claimed that the IDF were sacrificing Palestinians to G-d or using their blood to make matzo bread or something. The false equation of religious ritual with murder is pretty important here.
Please don't give those fuckers ideas.
