Thanks for posting the story of the blood libel. Free pets who wonder why Jews are suspicious of Christians in general (and by extension Republicans) and consistently vote Democrat should read up on the blood libel.
Hahaha. Free pets = Freepers
I was wondering how the free pets got involved in politics.
It is a thousand year old Christian calumny birthed in medieval Europe and used to justify countless pogroms against Jews.
I don’t know how and when the blood libel got started, but ironically there was an earlier version of it: the Roman pagans believed that Christians would kill children in their secret meetings and mix the blood in their food. But I think the idea was that it was their own children, not kidnapped children, and there was probably a long gap between when that allegation stopped being believed and when the blood libel began to be propagated.
Amazing thing is, is that Jews are forbidden to even have a bit of blood in their food or meats.
How did the Church go from Kosher laws forbidding Jews to have a drop of blood in their food to a Blood Libel? Insane.
And just as much as a libel is the claim that this is a constant and well-known belief by Christians.
The Prioress's Tale in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is an example of this theme in a famous work of English literature.
You might not have noticed lately, but this is America.
“An eight-year-old Palestinian boy went missing, only to be found dead at the bottom of a flooded ditch near his house.”
Another unfortunate victim of global warming...
lets stay focussed - this blood libel is by muslims, not Christians.
Muslims who slaughter Christians AND Jews at the slightest excuse.
>> You might not have noticed lately, but this is America.
Amen. To quote Dennis Prager (an orthodox Jew):
“America’s Christians are not Europe’s Christians”.
And, frankly, I don’t appreciate an article - on Town Hall, to boot - that begins and ends by talking about Christians when the real dirtbags are the - well, you know...
The Blood Libel canard was disseminated in Medieval Europe and is commonly distributed today in Christian communities in the Middle East.
Free pets who wonder why Jews are suspicious of Christians in general (and by extension Republicans) and consistently vote Democrat should read up on the blood libel.

So they would vote for politicians who support butchering the unborn and Islamic countries that would annihilate Israel in a heartbeat if allowed to?
You are giving liberals way too much credibility.
Wasn’t this crap also promoted from that book, Elders of Zion, or something like that? I think this was written in Russia in the early 20th century and Henry Ford bought tons of them. But I guess it was intended to support this BS in the form of a “book”.
When I went to college in the mid ‘70’s I met some Iranian students. They were horrified to learn that I had a good friend who was a Jew. They asked, in shock, if I had ever eaten one of their cookies.
This made no sense to me until I learned of the story...repeated on State run TV each year...of how Jews lured children to their death and used their blood to make Passover cookies. There were even “re-enactments” broadcast on air.
They grew up believing this nonsense.
If Hitler taught us anything it was that hate, when coddled and nurtured long enough, takes upon itself a life of it’s own. At that point it is irrational, and no amount of corrective information can deter it from its murderous intent. There is a visceral thrill that comes with the frenzy of hate, and it is addictive. Westerners are shocked by the intensity of hate on the faces of a Muslim mob. It is easier to rehabilitate a hard core heroin addict than to save someone from the cycle of hate. We are dealing with a demonic phenomena 1300 years old that is rooted in the molten core of Muslim doctrine. It’s in the book! And Muslim doctrine knows that coexistence is impossible. Jews are hated because they are the chosen. And the Bible tells us plainly that it is not because they are so much better than anybody else. The reality is that Truth has come to the world through them, and until all nations are willing to acknowledge that Truth, there will be no end to war, and no end to hate.
