I also felt my heart sink when I read the story put out by Hamas, that Israel had committed a massacre. But Hamas has been lying to the media, glorifying atrocities, and blaming Israel repeatedly with stories that are later proven to be decidedly false! And Canada’s NDP leader Jagmeet Singh repeated the false claims, and is perpetuating the vilifying? The truth is out there, but it is so discouraging that the lies keep making the headlines. Thank you for this article showing the connection to the early days of Blood Libel.
Since Oct 7, Hamas's only effective weapons have been social media and the international media. No one expects much from social media, but the truly discouraging part is that the media so happily colludes with Hamas.

As my grandmother would reply “ so, vats new?” No matter how much evidence is supplied; they will reject it and continue to preach the libelous story.
