Extremist Leader Repeats Blood Libel

A far-right figure repeated classic antisemitic mythology, including ritual-murder style accusations. The reappearance of medieval tropes in modern politics matters because it shows how “old antisemitism” can be repackaged for contemporary mobilisation: emotionally charged, conspiratorial, and designed to portray Jews as existentially dangerous rather than merely “other.” Even when such claims circulate at the margins, they can seep into broader discourse through sensational coverage and social repetition, especially where legal and political sanction is weak.
