The Gaza starvation libel echoes Jesus’ trial and Christian blood accusations, using misleading images to fuel antisemitism; Based on partial truths, it’s amplified by Hamas’ actions and even some Jews’ complicity, justifying violence against us, just as history’s libels have perpetually endangered Jewish lives
ed note–pay close attention to the fact that the deranged Jewish author actually references the research done by Prof. Ariel Toaff of Bar Illan University into the accusations of Jews using the blood of Christian children to make Matzoh for Passover, that he does not refute these findings, and yet, still refers to the charge as a ‘blood libel’.
He also references the fact that the Israeli government has harvested organs from Palestinians who were deliberately murdered, a fact which the Israeli government itself has admitted and verified, and yet, says that those who believe what the Israeli government itself has admitted to doing are engaging in ‘blood libels’.
The Jewish brain is nothing if not perfectly psychopathic, thoroughly psychotic, and completely detached from reality, something that can be nothing else other than the inescapable result of a people who are, just as Jesus Christ Himself stated in the plainest of language, ‘Children of their father, the Devil…’

It was no coincidence that the image of the starving toddler in Gaza—which, as it turned out to our great relief, depicted a child who was not dying but suffering from a genetic disease, and not even in Gaza—was used to propagate the blood libel of starvation against Israel. The photograph of the toddler held motionless in his mother’s arms deliberately echoes Christian images known as the ‘Madonna and Child,’ depicting Mary, the mother of Jesus, carrying him in her arms, as well as the ‘Pietà’ (compassion) images of the mother cradling the body of the dead Jesus in her lap after his removal from the cross.
This connection immediately evokes, for any Christian worldwide who sees the misleading photograph, the figure of the crucified one murdered by the Jews—and, by extension, the subsequent libels of Christian children murdered by Jews for the same purpose: to draw their blood for Passover.
It is important to note that the original blood libel, which gave all antisemitic libels their name, was probably based on actual facts. The Sanhedrin did indeed convene at the High Priest’s house in Jerusalem on the eve of the Seder to judge Jesus. It is also true that, the day after this nighttime trial, Jesus was sentenced to death by the Romans, crucified and bled.
Blood libels require no more than a flimsy factual basis to flourish, and that is exactly what has happened here
As recorded, the timing of the trial during Passover gave rise to the libel that Jews use the blood of Christian children to bake matzah, turning the holiday into a period prone to pogroms against Jews—even in our own time. The fact that it later emerged that the Sanhedrin had actually tried to save Jesus from a certain death sentence by the Roman governor—inevitable once Jesus declared himself ‘King of the Jews’—no longer mattered. The libel triumphed over the facts, and Jewish blood was spilled again and again in Nisan.
The current blood libel accusing us of deliberately starving Gaza is also based on true facts: there is severe distress and hunger in Gaza, which the military devastated in a war forced upon us. But the leap from this to accusing the Jews (sorry, Israel) of starvation is vast, stemming in part from Israel’s provision of humanitarian aid and primarily from the actions of Hamas, which controls life in the Strip, loots and blocks food distribution, and deliberately fosters hunger for propaganda purposes. Not that it matters: blood libels require no more than a flimsy factual basis to flourish, and that is exactly what has happened here—even within Israel itself.
This is not surprising. The spread of blood libels has always been aided by Jews as well, whether out of a desire to distinguish themselves in the eyes of the accusers from the ‘other’ Jews targeted by the libel, or from a belief that those others were indeed guilty. Just as there are ‘journalists’ and ‘researchers’ in Israel today who claim that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war—despite lacking any initial evidence—so too, throughout the generations, there have been Jewish ‘researchers’ who asserted that the blood libels against Jews in Europe were true, based on real Kabbalistic healing texts that involved the blood of Christian children.
Only about 20 years ago, Professor Ariel Toaff from Bar-Ilan University claimed in his book ‘Pasque di Sangue’ (‘Blood Passovers’) that a group of fundamentalist Jews in the past had indeed used the blood of Christian children for healing purposes, thereby confirming the antisemitic libel.
Christian blood libels were long ago adopted by the Muslim world. Ramadan television series are rife with scenes of Israelis (rabbis and soldiers) slaughtering Palestinian children to transplant their organs into Jews. The image of the toddler who is all skin and bones in his mother’s arms also directs Muslims toward those same blood libels, seeking to justify the horrors committed by Palestinians against our children on October 7—in the sense of ‘a child slaughtered for a child slaughtered’—as well as the horrific starvation of our innocent hostages in their hands.
Although it is not surprising, it is a shame that some among us, who know full well that the IDF is not deliberately starving anyone, still assist in spreading these libels under the pretext that ‘it is important for the world to know there are other Israelis who oppose this.’ History teaches that this will not help. They, like all of us, will forever remain those who supposedly seek to draw blood from Christian children and starve Palestinian children to death—and therefore, it is permissible and even desirable to massacre them.
1. Since Jesus was apparently a Jew, and preached about the Jewish god, he, too, would have been a psychopath detached from reality. His early followers were just as big liars as the Zionists. Some of his current followers are just as bad.
2. The story of the Sanhedrin convening at night (illegal under Jewish law) and the subsequent crucifixion of Jesus has very little support. It was almost certainly cooked up much later. No one knows what happened.
ed note–Jesus never preached about the ‘Jewish god’. He referred to God as ‘my father’, whereas the Jewish god is the violent and petty deity ‘Yahweh’.
Furthermore, the various commandments, from stoning women to healing on the Sabbath to consorting with sinners, all of which the Jewish god either commanded or forbade, Jesus made sure to do the opposite.
Nor can He be termed a ‘Jew’ in the sense that people assume. A ‘Jew’ was a Judean, or someone living in Judea, and Jesus lived in Galilee, otherwise known disparagingly to the Jews of His own time as the ‘Galilee of the Gentiles’.
Nexto, the notion that the story of Jesus is not historically supported is not true. The various Roman historians of the day made clear mention of Him, so the possibility that He was a mere invention or an afterthought conjured up centuries later simply does not hold water.
The fact that, as you allege, Jewish law forbids the Sanhedrin from meeting at night (we are not in the position to argue one way or the other, since we are not aware of this particular regulation) and that this ‘proves’ that the trial could not have taken place is a weak argument as well. As you yourself stated, no one really knows exactly what happened, at what hour it may have happened, etc, etc, etc.
If there is one thing however that ‘proves’ the existence of Jesus, it is the hatred which the Jews maintain for Him up to this very day.
