The Issue of "Blood Libel"

I was stunned to see the story of the latest killing  --which involved people of Overland Park and a Missouri Jew-hater killer from Aurora, Missouri, who made no secret of his hatred, over the years, of anyone who was not white and fit in with his idea of "perfection".  He certainly does not fit in with my idea of perfection.

He killed three people--for no reason.  They were not Jewish, even.   Who gave him the right to take another person's life!  Did they think that this man would suddenly emerge into society and take his rightful place?    But after I got through my rage, I listened to commentators and guests talk about the "Blood Libel" issue!  I was appalled --people have talked and painted pictures of the fact that they think that Jews took Christian children (and now Muslim are included), killed them, took their blood and used it for their ceremonies.  


And, now, us Christians and Muslims have a reason to seek retribution!   Really, I looked this up!  When you want to do evil, you can find reasons --even when they have no bearing on reality!  I heard Alan Dershowitz talk about this and Anti-Semitics yesterday and he said, "It (Hatred) is a disease of the soul."
There are some people who are eaten up with anger!  I saw it in this man's face and demeanor as he was put in the back of a cop car yesterday after killing three innocent people!
