Tell me when "almost always" became the same as 'always' as claimed by wtc911. You made my point for me.
I included that because it was a point in your favor. But wikipedia’s use of the term was simply to indicate that on occasion, the charges of murdering children for their blood was leveled against people who were not jewish, not to suggest that the term had another use that was somewhat common that didn’t include jews.
The phrase ‘always’ would rarely be correct if taken literally, and therefore should be interpreted in most cases as a virtual or predominant statement. After all, Palin just used “blood libel”, and not against jews, so it obviously isn’t “always” used against jews.
But it’s use is virtually always to discuss jews being persecuted by other faiths through the false accusation that they were killing children. That a few instances exist of others being so falsely accused doesn’t really change that, nor is there any evidence that the term has EVER been used as a common way of describing the general false accusations that a group has contributed to a culture of violence.
Which may NOT have been your argument, but without such an argument, the wtc911 argument is largely unscathed by pointing out that the use of “always” was imprecise.
