BLOOD LIBEL - RABBIT TRAIL
- Blood Libel; the BIG LIE - A medieval lie

stories were fabricated that the Jews kidnapped Christian children,
ritually killed them and used their blood in the making of unleavened

23 This is what the LORD
Almighty says: "In those days ten men from all languages and nations will
take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, `Let us go with
you, because we have heard that God is with you.'" NIV
