I just finished reading the article in The Lancet and remain horrified beyond words. And so appreciate the rest of your posting.
The Jerusalem Post smear that it is a "blood libel" is so out of touch with reality. To quote from a book review in the Nation Magazine that digs deep into the history of the blood libel accusation, here is a good definition of it: ".... the blood libel: the claim that Jews murder Christian children, often around Easter, and use their blood in Passover rituals." That Israeli writers and politicians try to say that any critique of their actions is a "blood libel" is a total fabrication....but of course it sounds good and that's why they do it.
