Nice blood libel you got there.

I'm a Jewish person and I don't see blood libel in this. They provided some interesting points and while I don't fully agree they aren't painting Jews as evil or others as good, just trying to reconcile our beliefs with these recent atrocities.

Truth is an absolute defense for libel accusations. So what about the comment was untrue? Or do you think including the phrase "blood libel" is sufficient to form a though-terminating cliche?

Anyway, looking at it from an anthropological perspective, many societies have regarded themselves as human while characterizing all outsiders as non-human. I wouldn't expect the ancient Jews to differ from anyone else in the region at the time when it comes to this.
