    In its response to the petition, Israel accused South Africa of a “blood libel,” which is “without legal merit and constitutes a base exploitation and contempt of court.”

    blood libel

    noun

    • The false accusation that Jews murder non-Jewish children to use their blood for their religious rituals and holidays.
    • Any false or purportedly false accusation of murder of a non-Jew by a Jewish person or organization.
    • Any false or purportedly false accusation of guilt, especially of guilt in mass murder or homicide.

    That third point is such a cop out.
