(I am Jewish). The term blood libel is not anti-semitic. Blood libels have been used against the Jews for 1000 years. There is the claim we kill Gentile children for their blood to make matzoh for Passover, the claim that we manipulate economies, in more recent times it's been suggested that Israeli's poison the water in Palestinian wells - blood libels reflect all of those things. My objection to sarah's use was in comparing our history having blood libels used against Jews was in any way the same as the heat she was getting for using gun sights on congressional districts and all of her other violent imagery. She's playing the martyr and I find it repulsive.
