Thermobaric bombs are real and even normal bombs can do this. (There’s a WW2 song which ends “and all they could find were spots/hundreds and hundreds of spots.“) Not clear that this is a war crime; war is horrible and bombs are part of it; the question is how indiscriminately they were dropped.

"blood libel" why do you have to use this term all the time? There is plenty of other words that describe what you want to say: fake news, disinformation, propaganda. Why do the likes of you insist on using "blood libel"?

For those unfamiliar with that phrase: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/blood_libel

In the current context, OP's use of "insane blood libel" is a very efficient way to communicate his interpretation of the article. And probably his cultural/political background and worldview. And his emotions on the subject.

The terms you've suggested would, at best, be far less efficient for that purpose.
