In England's Lincoln Cathedral you can visit the grave of "Little St Hugh". This lad was found dead and a story was circulated that he had been the victim of a Jewish ritual killing. This was used to fuel persecution of the Jews. His tomb in Lincoln Cathedral carries the story, but a notice has more recently been placed by the memorial explaining the falsehood of the story. However the Blood Libel enjoyed great popularity and surfaced many times around medieval Europe and into the twentieth century.
The medieval "Blood Libel" is still alive and well.
The Egyptian government newspaper Al-Ahram, ran a lenghty article on October 28th 2001 explaining how "bestial" Jews murder Arab children to drain their blood to make Passover matzoh, and that every devout Jew must eat one of these blood matzohs to be allowed to live in the Jewish holy cities. There is a great difference between what the Arab nations and Palestinians broadcast in their own media and what they supply to the Western media. It appears that few in the West monitor the Arab media or take notice of the agencies that do!
| Mustafa Tlas, Syria's Minister
of Defense published his version in Damascus in 1983, entitled,
"The Matzo of Zion".
This book discussed in great detail the Damascus Blood Libel of 1840 and applied it to the current situation; concluding that, "no Arab country should ever sign a peace treaty with Israel" and that this was the final mistake of Anwar Sadat, who "sold his country to the devil". |
At the same time as it was putting forward the "peace initiative" Saudi Arabia was, through its government Al Riyahd newspaper, resurrecting the blood libel against the Jews. In its March 10th 2002 column, by Umaya Ahmad Al-Jalahama, the paper asserted that Jews use the blood of (non Jewish) teenagers to make a special pastry for the March holiday of Purim. Gory details were included of extracting the blood from the victim by placing him in a barrel lined with sharp needles. (Translations made available by the Middle East Media Research Institute.)
It should be remembered that the idea of using any blood, let alone human blood, is repugnant to all Jews. The Torah expressly forbids the consumption of blood. (Leviticus chapter 11)
