Was there some reason why we should be surprised?
EU hypocrisy and corruption, Africa and the Jews
Salt 424 - boycott or not? The latest BDS conundrum
From the NYT (of course), a noxious fiction but with no contemporary relevance

I have to say, I am generally horrified and disgusted.
It amazes me to no end that non-Jews continue to accuse the tiny Jewish minority of the most heinous crimes possible. Every generation some within majority populations start yammering at one another about how Jews are terrible people, killers, in fact, who love nothing so much as to murder innocent children.
In this generation, of course, we are supposed to believe that the Jews actually are as heinous as they have always told us we are because the IDF allegedly targets innocent Arab children. In previous generations we were convicted of killing Jesus or creating socialism or creating capitalism or poisoning wells, thus bringing about various plagues, or using the blood of Christian babies in the making of Passover matzoh. To this day much of the vast Muslim majority in that part of the world continues to tell one another that Jews are the Devil who must be destroyed.
And, yet, somehow, if we point this out it makes us the bad guys.
If we point to a youtube video of some imam screaming to the heavens for the blood of Jews, it makes us racist.
So, yes, I am horrified and disgusted - but, y'know, I am used to that.
