You're not infodumping. :) Or at least it's not an unwelcome conversation on my end.
I can also see why the topic is possibly triggering at the moment. I grew up in a nondenominational Bible church, where the fact that the Jews were God's chosen, was stressed, as was the fact that it was the Romans who actually carried out the crucifixion.
In this case, probably because I didn't think about it too hard, I don't know if L would have been thinking in terms of the blood libel, or thinking of himself more like Pontious Pilate (not Harod, which I said above). I suspect he would have been comparing himself to Pilate, though, as the figure behind the scenes who indirectly caused the death of the "god".
