April and early May of 2021 saw escalating tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, mostly over Israeli policies in Jerusalem.
Hamas is a terrorist organization, as well as the autocratic governing party of Gaza. On May 10, Hamas fired at least 150 rockets indiscriminately towards Israel, starting an 11 day war.
During this initial Hamas rocket attack, multiple rockets fell short in Gaza, likely killing 16 Palestinian bystanders, including 8 children.
Also on May 10, Israel carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Gaza, killing at least 5 Palestinians, at least 4 of whom were members of Hamas. The fifth, Mohammad Saber Ibrahim Suleiman, aged approximately 16, was killed by an Israeli drone strike along with his father, a Hamas commander. While Suleiman was not the target of the Israeli strike, later reporting nevertheless indicated that he was not a civilian.
(See appendix for discussion.)
Statements to the press by the Hamas-run Ministry of Health alleged that 20 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli strikes, including 9 children, attributing the numerous casualties from Hamas’s own rockets to Israel.
The fake news that Israel had killed 9 children immediately caught fire and circulated around the world. A thread on arr worldnews reached +50k karma, with many comments condemning Israel, America, and Joe Biden and accusing Israel of “genocide.”
In the US State Department briefing room, a reporter emotionally demanded a condemnation from the US spokesman Ned Price, in the following exchange:
> QUESTION: No, I understand. I want to ask on East Jerusalem. I don’t want to harp on this either. But the Israelis killed 13 people just now, including maybe five or six children. Do you condemn that? Do you condemn the killing of children?
> MR PRICE: Said —
> QUESTION: I’m asking: Do you condemn the killing of Palestinian children?
> MR PRICE: Obviously – and these reports are just emerging. And I understand – I was just speaking to the team. I understand we don’t have independent confirmation of facts on the ground yet, so I’m very hesitant to get into reports that are just emerging.
> Obviously, the deaths of civilians, be they Israeli or Palestinians, are something we would take very seriously. ([Source](https://www.state.gov/briefings/department-pre

They already referenced something that happened to native Americans earlier on so, I think it's possible
In September of 1928, in the town of Massena located in upstate New York a shocking “non-American” event.
A Blood Libel accusation against the small Jewish community of Massena.
How did this happen?
And perhaps more importantly, could it happen again?
There were a number factors that lead to the Blood Libel Accusation of 1928:
• Immigration of Eastern European immigrants, who grew up with blood libels
• Anti-Semitism of workers from nearby Quebec
• Massive revival of the Ku Klux Klan.
• Influence of Henry Ford
• 1928 presidential election

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)
> Abraham Foxman, the director emeritus of the Anti-Defamation League, tweeted on May 28 that he is canceling his New York Times subscription because the paper printed a "Blood libel" on their front page.
> "I grew up in America on the NYT-I delivered the NYT to my classmates-I learned civics-democracy and all the news 'fit to print' for 65 years but no more. Today's blood libel of Israel and the Jewish people on the front page is enough."
> Today's blood libel of Israel and the Jewish people on the front page is enough.
> Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action Agenda at the Simon Wiesenthal Center Rabbi Abraham Cooper told the Journal that he too is canceling his subscription to The New York Times, saying that the front page is "Libelous against the Jewish state and that they do it amidst a tsunami of antisemitic attacks by pro-Hamas forces across the United States it's beyond the pale." He added that the Times has gone from "Being the paper of record for the United States of America - the world's greatest democracy - to becoming the newspaper of record for Hamas."
> Ben Shapiro tweeted that for the main image of an op-ed by a Palestinian writer, the Times used a map of Israel that is "So bad that MSNBC, which used the image in 2015, had to retract it and admit it was factually incorrect." New York Times Deputy Opinion Editor Patrick Healy said in a statement that the map helped "Illustrate arguments."
> Just the NYT casually pushing the destruction of the state of Israel, as per usual.

They had an episode about antisemitic conspiracy theories, the host mentioned off hand that there are churches still in Europe that depict stained glass scenes of Blood Libel. Was this a common depiction for the medieval church and can anyone provide any specific churches where images like this still exist?
Well, this is going to be a long hot mess, I apologize from the start, like Inigo Montoya I have to say, "There is too much" even trying to sum it up, partly because it's a lot and I mean a LOT of history, also because it's very personal to me. I'm lucky that I don't live with any Qultists, but I deal with it at work, and we all deal with them on some level, as we saw on Jan 6th. I really want to make a joke about a national "Epiphany" but there's just nothing funny about it, even if it has some grotesque comedy.
It's personal because I was raised in a worldview that feeds this, and I feel amazingly lucky, like I was just missed by a meteor by inches, that I got out long enough ago that there was no chance of buy-in. But the whole thing is so triggering for that reason, I have a clear memory of having believed in secret alternate histories full of conspiracism and prophecies, in which every historical event had alternate interpretations explained by Sin, with the greatest sin of all being abortion, where all the media and all of science/medicine was lying to us because they hated God and families and goodness, but we weren't supposed to DO anything but pray because it was part of God's plan (trust the plan!)
So it's like being a fish that has taken to the land, remembering swimming in that sea of delusions, but now breathing air and even trying to recall that mindset feels like drowning today. But it helps explain what is going on and why Q is so potently seductive - it's a very ancient meme that has been constantly refined and tweaked over centuries, with a steroid injection a hundred years ago that took it to all new catastrophic levels culminating in the Holocaust.
That was of course the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a propaganda work created in 1903 by the Russian government to retroactively justify their pogroms by supposedly-leaked documents revealing the secret programs by the secret Jewish leadership to subvert and destroy mainstream Christian society, which was translated in 1919 in English and was promoted and published in America by non other than Henry Ford, whose bigotry and open embrace of fascism somehow never made it into our history books when I was in school and he was praised as an American genius-hero, while the theater class was putting on "Fiddler on the Roof. "
They didn't tell us about IBM then, either.
