29. Whether some accusations are "centuries old antisemitic Jew hating libels" depends on the context.

If the accusations are made without being connected to the accused being Jewish and would've been leveled under other other circumstances where no Jews were involved, it's probably not one of those "centuries old antisemitic Jew hating libels".

To be fair, the anti-Semitic intent has not been disproven, but I would say that it's extremely unlikely that this has anything to do with anti-Semitism. Regardless, BTS has made no allegations about settlers poisoning wells, which has been pointed out by VC in this thread.

I think you've chosen poorly when you trust Im Tirtzu over BTS.
