This video shows UCL Research Associate Dr. Samar Maqusi presenting to students the medieval blood libel myth, which falsely accused Jews of using Christian blood for rituals, as fact. This dangerous conspiracy is one of the oldest forms of antisemitism and has led to violence against Jewish communities for...

This is absolutely sickening to listen to. We have professors literally repeating blood libel in the classrooms. The blood libel that led to pogroms, exiles, and the holocaust. This demonizing of Jews isn't even a little bit related to the conflict, and if you won't call it out because you think that it is, you are part of the problem. And, wouldn't you know it, this professor, Dr. Samar Maqusi, spent years working at UNRWA. What a surprise.

In this video from the streets of Stockholm, “the Jew” is portrayed wearing a visible kippah and blood-soaked clothes while murdering a child by cutting its throat. It directly invokes the medieval blood libel—the antisemitic myth that Jews murder children for ritual purposes—which has fueled centuries of persecution, violence, and pogroms across Europe.

At London’s prestigious university UCL, an academic is teaching the blood libel AS FACT. For the ignorant, Jews do not use any gentile blood at Passover - this is a conspiracy theory which started in the UK around 800 years ago. I’m genuinely amazed that today it is being spread on British campuses. This is not free speech. This is dangerous antisemitism. StandWithUsUK

Blood libel was on full display today at Union Station in Washington, D.C. Dressed up as “activism” and “performance art,” this was nothing less than the revival of one of the oldest and most dangerous antisemitic tropes in history. Blood libel has fueled violence, persecution, and massacres of Jews for centuries. Seeing it resurface in our nation’s capital is both horrifying and unacceptable. At a time of rising antisemitism, leaders and authorities must condemn this display and ensure that public spaces are not used to spread dangerous hate.

Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to a nearly empty United Nations, declaring that criticism of Israel is no different than antisemitism and a “blood libel.” He recalls the accusations from the Middle Ages, Jews being blamed for poisoning wells, spreading plague, and using children’s blood in rituals. Netanyahu warns that antisemitism never dies, it only resurfaces again and again.

This appalling video shows a Jewish academic and Jewish students at the University of Sydney being harassed by someone apparently of palestinian Arab extraction. The students were celebrating a Sukkot event organized by AUJS, and there were no Israeli flags nor even hostage ribbons. The antisemitism is clear, with the woman targeting the group solely because they were Jewish, using Nazi-esque dehumanizing language, invoking the medieval blood libel of the Jew as “baby killer,” and casting doubt on the Jews’ semitic origins. But what makes all of this even worse? The perpetrator was reportedly a University of Sydney staff member. She has been suspended pending further assessment. 🤯

We condemn the blatantly antisemitic “Israel’s Friendsgiving Dinner” protest that took place both inside and outside of Union Station in Washington, D.C., this week. It invoked one of the oldest antisemitic ideas in history: blood libel, or the idea that Jews kill non-Jews and use their blood for nefarious religious rituals (most infamously, the idea that Jews would kill Christian children in order to make use of their blood). We are firm believers and defenders of the right to free speech and political protest, including protests of the Israeli government’s actions and policies in Gaza and the West Bank — even protests we might disagree with or protests that make us uncomfortable. But we unequivocally condemn any demonstration like this that directly and blatantly invokes an antisemitic trope that has led to centuries of violence against Jews. (Video: /jolly_good_ginger)

I don't think JD Vance knows what a blood libel is. He defines it here as the idea that “because of your genetics, because of your blood, because of your ancestry, you are guilty of a crime that you never committed.” That's not what a blood libel is. The classic blood libel was the fabricated accusation that Jews murdered Christian children and used their blood for religious purposes, most famously in connection with Passover. The power of the blood libel wasn't that every single Jew was personally accused of murdering a child. It was the invention of some monstrous secret Jewish crime, repeated until ordinary people came to believe that Jews were capable of it. What Vance is describing is closer to blood guilt or classical racial prejudice. These people are bad because of their ancestry, ethnicity or religion. That's not really what people like Tucker are doing, at least not yet. Tucker doesn't generally tell his audience that Jews are bad because they were born Jewish. He tells them that Jews, “Zionists,” Chabad, Jewish donors or Israel's American supporters are actually doing terrible things. Part of what makes the blood libel so effective is that it comes with its own defense against accusations of antisemitism. "I don't hate Jews because they're Jewish. I hate them because they're murdering Christian children." The modern version works the same way. "I don't hate Jews because they're Jewish. I hate Israel (read Jews) because they deliberately murder innocent Palestinian children." Not because of any rational explanation such as that children tragically die in war, but because Israelis supposedly want to kill them, enjoy killing them or simply don't care. Understanding what a blood libel actually is would help Vance understand why so many Jews are horrified by what Tucker Carlson has been doing. A perfect example is Tucker's claim that Chabad was helping drive America into a religious war with Iran whose end goal was destroying Al Aqsa and rebuilding the Third Temple. The problem with Tucker isn't that he criticizes Israel. It's the endless production of sinister accusations about Jews and the institutions associated with them, followed by millions of people being told that “these people” are secretly screwing them. And fighting this is difficult because you have to do two things at once. Identify the antisemitic mechanism and dismantle the underlying lie. That's even harder in a global information environment where governments, activists and hostile states have their own reasons for pushing false or wildly distorted claims about Israel and inflaming divisions inside America. Vance says the “core of antisemitism” is the blood libel. And he's right. He just doesn't seem to understand what a blood libel is, or recognize the modern version when it's sitting right next to him.

Here's Pink Floyd's Roger Waters on Tucker Carlson, suggesting that the Iranian government is morally superior to Western governments because "usury" or lending money for profit, is illegal there 🫩 You have to understand the history of antisemitism to understand why this whole monologue is virulent anti-Jewish hate. Historically, when lending money was illegal for Christians, Jews, whose professional options were limited, were often forced into this role. This led to negative stereotypes of Jews as unscrupulous lenders, encapsulated infamously in Shakespeare's hateful stereotype of a Jewish lender in The Merchant of Venice. Put aside the fact that Waters is trying to whitewash the Iranian regime, which is not by any stretch of the imagination a moral government. He is doing it by imposing the historically potent language of antisemitism onto Israel, the Jewish state. Antisemitism is dangerous. Especially when its hidden like this so it's harder to spot.

The federal government must hold colleges accountable in order to combat campus antisemitism. Students and professors are inciting hate and violence against Jews. A student held up a sign that read: Keep the world clean of Jews. The notion of “cleansing” the world of Jews is the kind of genocidal antisemitism that one would expect from Nazi Germany, not from NYC.

Judaism is never Zionism. Judaism is a religion and Zionism is a political ideology that has nothing to do with Judaism. How can being against Zionism count as being against Jews or Judaism? Zionism is a political ideology created a century ago by Zionist leaders who did not even believe in Judaism. The mainstream media, which is under the control of the Zionists, constantly lies to you as if all Jews are on the side of Israel, but this is a big lie. Thousands of Torah Jews in the world are against Israel and Zionism. Rabbi Chaim Brisker, one of the greatest rabbis a century ago, once said: “There have been many heretical groups in Jewish history, but Zionism is the worst. Being against Zionism is never Antisemitism. Criticizing Israel is never antisemitism. Zionism is not Judaism. Israel is not a Jewish state. There are thousands of anti-Zionist, anti-Israel Jews in the world, and now you claim that Jews are the enemies of Judaism.

The Holocaust was a genocide based on Jewish blood, not belief. Even Jews who were secular or converted to Christianity were murdered under antisemitic regimes like Nazi Germany. Antisemitism has always treated Jews as a race, even when Jews did not define themselves that way. Antisemitism laws were created not to shield Judaism from theological criticism, but to prevent racial hate, incitement, and genocide. Islamophobia includes criticism of Islamic doctrines, political Islam, Sharia law, and jihad. Labeling this criticism as “racism” is a way to conflate legitimate scrutiny of ideas with hate. This approach erases the difference between attacking Muslims as people (which is wrong) and critiquing Islam as a political ideology (which must remain free and open). Antisemitism laws protect people, not theology. No one is being arrested for criticizing the Torah or disagreeing with Jewish views. The move to racialize Islam and pass “Islamophobia” laws isn’t about protecting people from harm, it’s about protecting an ideology from examination. That’s dangerous. It allows Islam to advance unchecked, shields oppressive ideas from being challenged, and weaponizes tolerance against open societies. It cheapens real anti-racism efforts, by making criticism of a powerful, global religion into a hate crime.
