Max Blumenthal: On the Record

Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal circulated an organ-theft insinuation the ADL placed within a resurgence of blood-libel accusations.

On the record

• January 2024 — Posted on X insinuating that Israel had detained Al-Shifa hospital director Muhammad Abu Salmiya to punish him and asking whether it would engage in “organ theft”; the ADL categorized the post within a resurgence of blood-libel accusations. [ADL]

The context

The post was phrased as a rhetorical question rather than a flat factual assertion. We note that framing.

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Dressing up the ancient blood libel as a “question” doesn’t change what it is. We don’t stand with him.
