Judaism: Blood Libel

[Rev. Rye]

Good point about the Talmud. Do you think you can find an part where the Talmud sanctions the eating of human blood? You can search the Talmud here, and here I found one that affirms the Torah's prohibition:

Thus Scripture says, “The camel because it chews the cud…it is unclean to you”—“it” is unclean; but human milk is not unclean but clean. I might have excluded only [human] milk because [the use of milk] is not equally [forbidden] in all cases but I would not exclude [human] blood since [the prohibition of eating blood] is equally applicable in all cases. Hence Scripture says, “It,” only “it” is forbidden; human blood, however, is not forbidden but permitted.

You think you can find a contradicting claim in the Talmud, be my guest.
