Sounds like your average resident of TERF island.
Guaranteed that when she says she's a journalist she means propagandist/shill, and when she says she's a feminist she means TERF.
Music journalist. Not a war correspondent.
Sounds like Eve's more solid on the first three and kinda iffy on being from Scotland.
It's shite being Scottish! They're ruled by effete arseholes! It's a shite state of affairs to be in, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!
Oh Eve Fartlow
I think it's pretty antisemitic to ask them to explain themselves.
True. It's not my job to educate you
The term “blood libel”, I don’t even know what it mean, to be honest, but I’ve never seen it used in a context that isn’t flat out ridiculous.
Blood Libel refers to the antisemitic trope that Jews eat Gentile babies. I doubt you can find anyone that thinks that now, but it was a very real rumor in the past and contributed to very real persecution across Europe
I didn't know that term either. Now that you've defined it, I'm trying to make sense of that commenter. The best I can come up with is "You're not allowed to call out Israel for murdering children because in the past they were persecuted for a wrongful claim also involving murdered children." Which is an absolute bonkers claim.
You have correctly interpreted it, it sounds bonkers because it is bonkers.
Your Government shouldn't be killing children.
How dare you say I eat babies!
Nowadays they think Dems eat babies.
now
i think you'll find that Oprah Winfrey peddled this in her Satanic Panic era.

At least you kind of asked what it meant...
Would have been faster to look it up tho:
Blood libels often claim that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos, an unleavened flatbread which is eaten during Passover. Earlier versions of the blood libel accused Jews of ritually re-enacting the crucifixion.[10] The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victims of human sacrifice have become venerated as Christian martyrs. Many of these – most prominently William of Norwich (1144), Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (1255), and Simon of Trent (1475) – became objects of local cults and veneration; the cult of Hugh of Lincoln gained the support of Henry III and his son Edward I, giving it official credibility and helping it to be particularly well remembered. Although he was never canonized, the veneration of Simon was added to the General Roman Calendar. One child who was allegedly murdered by Jews, Gabriel of Białystok, was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.

It's just wild to me that so many people would spend more time typing a comment admitting they were ignorant of something, than it takes to just search it online so they could stop being ignorant.
And it's not just you, it's happening more and more.
So since I provided a source for what blood libel actual is, can you share why you made that comment instead of just typing "blood libel" into a search engine?
And you never will
Iykyk type shit
