You tell me. It was only from reading various news sites where prominent Jews expressed their dismay at the use of "Blood Libel" that I even knew about it.

Certain words DO have relative context, sometimes only important to certain groups. That's kind of the point---that our leaders should know their history and choose their words with care, or at least choose smart people to help them write speeches. If they surround themselves with a bunch or ignorant yahoos, that will effect diplomacy.
