one of the sad things about this is that it devalues actual antisemitism too. Its got to the point now where if soneone is accused of being anti semitic now i assume they just were critical of Isreali policy. Actual “Hitler did nothing wrong” anti semities beneift from this by being camoflaged among those who just disagree with cutting off food water and electricity to millions of civilians.

So if talking about events is blood libel, is killing journalists trying to represent the truth blood silence? Israel wants people to support them but doesn’t support media showing what’s happening. Why not show what’s happening? Why not care for journalists who will expose such one sided force?

This is getting well into “the lady doth protest too much, methinks” territory.

Whoever is managing that account is really reaching here.

“On Thursday, the Israeli government’s official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, likened this to the antisemitic lie that Jews murdered Christian boys to use their blood for religious rituals.”
