Blood Libel: Netanyahu and Submarines

blood libel: Netanyahu insisted he reported holding the shares, then selling them, and paid the appropriate tax on the gain. ; There is no connection between my investment and the submarines, he said, according to The Japan Times. I sold my shares 1.5 years before the first submarines was sold. In question were shares Netanyahu held in a company that later became affiliated with the conglomerate, a holding he sold at great return on investment. The lie is that I made a profit from the submarines; that is blood libel. Benny Gantz, Netanyahu's top rival in April 9 elections, sought to pin Netanyahu's investments more directly to the sale of the submarines. Blood libel is a loaded term, as it historically refers to false accusations that Jews in the Middle Ages ritually sacrificed Christian children on the holiday of Passover. (news.financializer.com).
