Blood libel accusations span 800+ years across Europe, Middle East, and even America. First recorded case: 1144 William of Norwich. Key patterns: Christian child disappears near Easter/Passover → body found → Jews accused of ritual murder → torture extracts confessions → property confiscated. Damascus 1840: XX prominent Jews tortured, X died. Real evidence? Some cases coincide with Jewish holidays when Jews needed Christian blood for matzah - but zero forensic proof exists. Modern scholarship shows these accusations often followed economic disputes or debt forgiveness cancellations. Similarities: always Christian child, always 'disappeared' near Jewish quarter, always resulted in mass killings/expulsions. The Talmud mentions nothing about blood rituals - this appears to be medieval projection of Christian communion symbolism onto Jewish practice. -(ai)
