	Blood libel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blood libels are allegations that a particular group kills people as a form of human sacrifice, and uses their blood in various rituals.
		Blood libels against the Jews were a common form of anti-semitism during the Middle Ages, though there is obviously no ritual involving human blood in Jewish law or custom.
		Many Jews were killed as a result of false blood libels, which continued into the 20th century, with the Beilis Trial in Russia and the Kielce pogrom in Poland, and the persistence of blood libel stories in the Arab world.

		While higher authorities of the Church and state often oppose the stories, the myth lives on in popular belief, supported and encouraged by local clergy who launch profitable pilgrimages to the sites of the alleged murders.

	Response to Michael Lerner's Blood Libel Against Ariel Sharon
		Although representing a minority of Jewish pseudo-intellectuals, who create a disproportionate amount of noise and havoc in their criticism of a strong and viable Jewish state, Lerner does not hesitate to spread a blood libel when, of course, it comes to Sharon himself, who served as defense minister during the Lebanon War.

		The Sharon hate virus is so deeply implanted in the blood vessels of this self-loving Lerner that he goes far beyond the opinion of the Kahan Commission, that explicitly stated that no Israeli of any branch or any rank had been involved in this painful tragedy.
