ISRAEL TRUTH TIMES

A blog dedicated to investigating events as they occur in Judea and Samaria, in Israel and in the world, and as they relate to global powers and/or to the Israeli government, public figures, etc. It is dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the headlines; and in so doing, it strives to do its part in saving Judea and Samaria, and by extension, Israel and the Jewish People, from utter destruction at the hands of its many external and internal enemies.

Re: Is Israel Next?


Jack added:

I don't know about the first pogrom but the first blood libel was an English invention, in the 1280's.
 
It's somewhat archane but look in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Read the description of the Prioress; a gentle church woman, a loving, kind hearted soul, unwilling to hurt the least of God's creatures, etc. Then read the Prioress' Tale. It is the original blood libel, little Hugh of (?) Kent, I believe. The happy ending is when all the Jews get massacred. I do not know if the author was awary of the irony. I suspect he was but he gave no indication of it.
