Judaism: Blood Libel

[Richerd83]

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.

"“It,” only “it” is forbidden; human blood, however, is not forbidden but permitted."

Doesnt this give a vague indication that its ok?

But i have no context to talmud. Only that i found this. Mainly i am studying something else as far as i know

susceptible to ritual impurity? As it is stated: “You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out upon the earth like water” (Deuteronomy 12:24). Blood that is poured out like water, such as that of a slaughtered, non-sacrificial animal, renders food susceptible to ritual impurity. However, sacrificial blood, which is not poured out like water and is instead sprinkled on the altar, does not render food susceptible to ritual impurity.

Found it from "Pesachim" on that link you gave me
