The Arab propaganda machine continues to spew blood libels against world Jewry.
In a recent article published in the official Saudi daily newspaper Al-Jazirah, columnist Dr. Muhammad bin S'ad Al-Shwey'ir, accuses Jews of using human blood for holiday celebrations. "Christian Europe showed enmity toward the Jews when it transpired that their rabbis craftily hunt anyone walking alone, [tempting] him to enter their house of worship. Then they take his blood to use for baked goods for their holidays, as part of their ritual. Often this deed was uncovered… When these incidents proliferated, the security apparatuses began to follow them, until they caught their rabbis committing the crime," wrote Al-Shwey'ir.
This is not the first time a Saudi columnist has launched a blood libel against the Jews. This past March Dr. Umayma Ahmad Al-Jalahma of King Feisal University, graphically accused Jews of using the blood of non-Jewish teenagers for their Purim Hamantashen (pastries) and Passover matzahs. The article appeared in the same official Saudi daily. Both articles were translated into English by the The Middle East Media Research institute (MEMRI).
