A notable tactic used to deflect scrutiny of Israeli military actions against Palestinians, including those resulting in high child casualties (which is twenty five times what Putin is being accused of murdering in Ukraine) is the accusation of "blood libel." This charge has been levied not only against longstanding critics but also against supporters of Israel. For instance, the Israeli ambassador to the UK publicly accused journalist Piers Morgan, a vocal supporter of the state, of blood libel:
This pattern was further illustrated in a recent Ha'aretz report, where several Israeli officers described receiving orders to fire on Palestinian civilians at aid centers. The office of the Israeli Prime Minister officially responded to this journalistic exposé by dismissing it as a "blood libel:"
We were shocked to discover the former US president, Bill Clinton, started confirming the obvious truth: Israeli leaders don't want peace, they lurching from war to another just to hang on to power, innocent civilians are being targeted, and that has to stop. We urge you to watch this two-minute short clip:
Critics contend that for nearly eighty years, the memory of the Holocaust has been weaponized to shield Israeli policies from rigorous criticism in Western media. This has allowed actions described by human rights organizations as apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and land theft to continue, creating what some argue is a "winning formula" for avoiding accountability. The question is: how does such a double standard not devalue and debase what the West and world Jewry allegedly care about: fighting antisemitism! Turning the sad memories of the Holocaust into a license for genocides, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and land theft has to stop. It is ridiculous to expect Palestinians to approve of those who replaced and dispossessed them!

After watching this clip, how can you convince today's teenagers that "blood libel" was ever a conspiracy theory? It should be noted that Amir's family hasn't found his body yet.
