In a reassertion of the age-old anti-Semitic blood libel, a Syrian-produced television program depicted Jews murdering a Christian boy to drain his blood for use in the special bread eaten at the Jewish Passover feast.

The program, which aired Tuesday on Hezbollah TV, was an episode in a series called "The Diaspora," which purports to tell the story of the Zionist movement, said Israel-based Palestinian Media Watch.

The series is based on a century-old hoax known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," purported to be the minutes of an 1897 meeting of Jewish leaders plotting to take over the world.

Among the assertions is that Zionist Jews rule the world with sophisticated plots, including causing the communist revolution in Russia and directing World War I. The Jews are described as greedy and bloodthirsty, interested only in power and world domination from the land of Israel, referred to in the program as "Palestine."

The charge that Jews use human blood in baking arose in 1840, when the Damascus Jewish community was accused of murdering a priest and his assistant to obtain their blood for making Passover matzo, or unleavened bread.

In September 2002, a columnist from the state-controlled Saudi newspaper Al-Jazirah claimed Jews use human blood in baked goods when preparing for holiday celebrations.

Earlier that year, a Saudi government-approved newspaper published a column asserting Jews use the blood of teenagers to make a special pastry associated with the March holiday of Purim.

This truly is a bunch of bunk.....

Who are they trying to fool now?

[DonQ]

Actually the producers of the series emphasized that they had NOT used the "Protocols of Zion" in working up their story (because most of the world knows that the Protocols are a fake). But they seemed to have mined every other source of anti-Jewish mythology.

This thread should be titled: "Why the Arabs will forever be mired in 3rd world ignorance and squalor."

The program, which aired Tuesday on Hezbollah TV, was an episode in a series called "The Diaspora,"...

No a doubt a late replacement for their planned brodcast of "The Reagans".

I wonder if this "documentary" (using the term as Michael Moore might) included any airplanes running into tall buildings in NYC?

[Jonah Hex]

Hell, if they drained Michael Moore's blood and processed his carcass then there would be enough bread and bacon to supply breakfast to all the Cracker Barrels on the East Coast for a weekend.

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

[Gritty]

Now, tell me again why we should seriously listen to these people?

The Arab version of the Atkins Diet, doubtless. :)

As a Christian I'm not worried in the least about ending up in an Israeli bagel, but there is massive proof of the on-going reality of Muslims burning, bombing, etc. Christians around the world. It's not as lurid as this Muslim fantasy about Passover plasma pastries, but an absolute fact is that Muslims don't even let their own Ramadan season stop their murdering as witnessed in this year alone.
