Blood libel? Really? I doubt that many people associate the term “bloodsucker” with Jews and/or blood libel. Most people think of “bloodsuckers” as a person or entity who works to take everything away from another without mercy. This terms applies to “people” who fit the description.

By referencing The Merchant Of Venice, that’s a reference to a Jewish moneylender—an antisemitic stereotype. And enough of the blood libelers refer to “Jewish bloodsuckers on Passover” in order to try to make that label stick.
