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

      Why do you say it is propaganda?

        Because Al Jazeera is a project of the Al Thani royal family whose chief aim is to exacerbate the external conflict to maintain Qatar's internal political stability.

        But the specific information in the article could still be true.

        So could an infinite variety of motivated claims, but without a second source for it, I'd remain skeptical.

        Yes, you always need more sources, that's why I don't dismiss it as propaganda. It would not be the first time that a news org lies, and it would not be the first time that the IDF lies.

        Who would be neutral enough for you?

  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.

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