"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.

Blood libel means harvesting blood for rituals. It has nothing to do with dropping bombs. Which Israel does, what's the controversy here?

You are trying to make it all about Jews, but they aren't any more special than any other people/religion on the planet. So let's use terms that could be applied to anyone.

Anyway, this is beside the point, reporting on Israel's atrocities and its genocide in Gaza has been accurate for the most part, unlike the lies coming out of Israeli government or IDF.
