| Yes, this is really the illustration accompanying the story. |
This is part 2 of an article I noted a couple of weeks ago, but written by a different author. This one starts off
with fake Talmudic quotes about how killing gentiles is obligatory - and goes downhill from there.
It goes on to say that the legend of Dracula is actually true in that Jews love drinking blood, and claims that Jewish historians confirm the ritual slaughter of Christian babies.
Apparently, Jews don't only drink blood as part of Purim pastries and Passover matzoh, but also during weddings and circumcisions.
The article even sarcastically notes that French actress Brigitte Bardot was against Muslim ritual animal slaughter, but never said a word about Jewish ritual murder!
Then it goes through a history of blood libels in the Arab world, ironically proving how ingrained Arab antisemitism is. It brings examples of the libel from Egypt in 1881; Syria in 1810, 1840 and 1890; and in Lebanon in 1824, 1826, 1829 and 1834. The Rhodes blood libel is mentioned as well, along with the long history of false accusations of the blood libel in medieval Europe.
Naturally, no Arab has publicly condemned the newspaper for its libel against Jews.
Just as naturally, human rights organizations are silent, as usual.
UPDATE: A similar article listing dozens of false accusations of Jews murdering Christian children was also published in a "Palestinian diaspora" newspaper on Thursday.
