Classic Blood Libel Against Jews Goes Mainstream in Iran
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) Mehdi Khalaji - On April 18, the prominent Iranian website Alef published an article, "Who Are Human History's Most Bloodthirsty People?" which accuses Jews of killing non-Jews to use their blood for ritual purposes. Alef is owned and supervised by Ahmad Tavakkoli, a member of Iran's parliament who formerly served as a minister and president of the parliamentary research center. The article describes several occasions in which Jews use and drink human blood with religious justification. It also mentions several examples of Jews stealing children, killing them, and using them for Passover rituals.
