At the doorstep of the twenty-first century, one would expect that
medieval concepts such as blood libel the accusation that Jews kill
children to use their blood in religious ritual would have been
discarded by any civilized human being. Certainly in the Christian
world, where the story originated and endured for centuries, modern
attitudes have nearly erased these barbaric accusations. But in
Arab and Islamic worlds, where enmity towards Israel and Zionism
has conditioned beliefs, attitudes, positions, and fantasies, blood
libel and similar charges are still part of life. Most people are
unaware of the history of blood libel and do not perceive links
between it and many of the false accusations currently hurled
against the state of Israel. Raphael Israeli argues that
individuals and organizations guilty of human rights crimes project
crimes onto Israel to avoid awareness of their own guilt. Certainly
when countries ruled by dictators set the agenda of the UN Council
for human rights, Israel is consistently censured and condemned.
Accusations of "apartheid" and charges of discrimination against
Muslims are frequently made. Israel is accused of plots against
Muslims in order to harm their productive sectors, of using weapons
of mass destruction to commit "genocide" against Arabs, of
injecting poisonous substances into Palestinian children, of
poisoning Arab lands under the guise of "agricultural aid," and of
laying siege to peaceful citizens. All of these charges are
derivatives of blood libel and have been adopted by Middle East
Jihadists in their struggle against Israel. This volume aims to
explain the origins of the charge of blood libel and define the
ways its derivatives have achieved acceptance in certain parts of
the world today.
