The Blood Libel in a Daily Saudi Newspaper
(March 10, 2002)
“During this holiday
[Purim], the Jew must prepare very special
pastries, the filling of which is not only
costly and rare –– it cannot be
found at all on the local and international
markets....For this holiday, the Jewish people
must obtain human blood so that their clerics
can prepare the holiday pastries....Before
I go into the details, I would like to clarify
that the Jews' spilling human blood to prepare
pastry for their holidays is a well-established
fact, historically and legally, all throughout
history. This was one of the main reasons
for the persecution and exile that were their
lot in Europe and Asia at various times....during
the holiday, the Jews wear carnival-style
masks and costumes and overindulge in drinking
alcohol, prostitution, and adultery.....”
