Blood Libel refers to the antisemitic trope that Jews eat Gentile babies. I doubt you can find anyone that thinks that now, but it was a very real rumor in the past and contributed to very real persecution across Europe
I didn't know that term either. Now that you've defined it, I'm trying to make sense of that commenter. The best I can come up with is "You're not allowed to call out Israel for murdering children because in the past they were persecuted for a wrongful claim also involving murdered children." Which is an absolute bonkers claim.
You have correctly interpreted it, it sounds bonkers because it is bonkers.
"Everyone said Jews used to eat babies which was really mean and lead to us being persecuted, now that Israelis who also claim to be Jews actually eat babies everyone is persecuting us for it. Do you want us to eat babies or not?!"
Your Government shouldn't be killing children.
How dare you say I eat babies!
i think you'll find that Oprah Winfrey peddled this in her Satanic Panic era.
Nowadays they think Dems eat babies.
It's transformed into the adrenochrome conspiracy theory: a deep state cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles[^pedophiles] kidnaps and tortures children to harvest a chemical from their blood as a psychedelic, life-extending drug. Overlaps with Epstein coverup conspiracy, so still alive & kicking.
[^pedophiles]: liberal politicians, Hollywood elites, George Soros
