People aren’t just willing to believe the worst about Jews, they WANT to believe the worst about us. This is how every conspiracy about us lives - no matter how outlandish - from drinking the blood of non-Jewish babies to controlling the world. It’s also why so-called smart people abandon every journalistic safety check, and every protocol of acquiring evidence, to broadcast unquestioningly every single lie said about Israel by a terrorist group whose stated goal is to exterminate Jews. They simply want the lies to be true. Yesterdays lie pushed by the UN and repeated by the worlds media - that 14,000 Gazan babies were about to die - is an intersection of the classic libel that we take the blood of non-Jewish babies and this modern news cycle in which pogrom-inducing rumours about Jews are spread as shiny facts rather than the hate-filled gossip of xenophobic racists living near some Jews.


Spot on.
