(Jewish Group) Haredi Jews eat matzah with 'human blood,' Egyptian Hebrew scholar claims

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The practice of baking matzah for Passover with human blood, claims Professor of Hebrew at King Saud University Fouad M. Abdel Waheb, used to be common among Jews but today only ultra-Orthodox people do so, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported on Sunday.

The interview was aired on June 13 in the program "Blue Line."

When asked, the academic confessed that "by Allah I don’t know where they get the blood from."

He also said that today “regular people don’t do this,” only haredi Jews. He added that eating human blood is unhealthy.

The idea Jewish people use human blood for ritualistic reasons was first recorded in 1149 when the body of a child called William was found in a wood near Norwich, England.

3. Now that I've read "Stiff" by Mary Roach

https://www.amazon.com/Stiff-Curious-Lives-Human-Cadavers/dp/0393324826

and have learned about the history of human cadavers including using them for food, medicine, fertilizer, etc., I'm wondering if the myth of blood in the matzohs came about from the Dark and Middle Ages, particularly the Middle East where bodies were not simply buried upon death.

4. Look up Blood Libel, this is from at least the 16th CE

Blood-"What is the blood libel myth?
A “blood libel” refers to the centuries-old canard that Jews kill Christian children and use their blood to make matzo, the unleavened bread that Jews eat during Passover. Jews have also been accused of other fictions, among them: desecration of the Communion wafer and the ritual crucifixion of Christian children.Nov 20, 2014Huff Postt › entry › jewish-blood..."

Snip--Blood libels typically claim that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover, although this element was allegedly absent in the earliest cases which claimed that then-contemporary Jews reenacted the crucifixion. The accusations often assert that the blood of the children of Christians is especially coveted, and, historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children.

5. No

It was some convoluted neo-vampire theory that this was necessary to relieve us of some curse or something.

Just malarkey.

6. My premise is that from an archaelogical standpoint, the use of human blood

in food can be argued to pre-date blood libel.
