Original Note:
Blood libel refers to the antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews are killing non-Jews (often babies) and using their blood for ritualistic purposes. Nobody is accusing the IDF of this, they are merely observing that the IDF shot hundreds of people. https://www.theholocaustexplained.org/anti-semitism/medieval-antisemitism/the-blood-libel-william-of-norwich/ https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blood%20libel https://daily.jstor.org/on-the-origins-of-the-blood-libel/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/2/29/israels-war-on-gaza-live-mass-killing-of-children-in-slow-motion-ngo https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/29/middleeast/gaza-city-deaths-food-israel-intl/index.html https://www.democracynow.org/2024/2/29/united_nations_gaza_starvation
