It was libel about blood. What’s their problem? That she stepped onto a word that they’ve already allocated to something else?

Who are they to allocate words?

[TaxPayer2000]

"But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. "

It seems to me that only those that are guilty of this type of libel are the ones that are offended by the use of the term. If one were not guilty of such a libel, then one would not be offended by the use of the term.
