The blood libel is the superstitious belief that Jewish people needed the blood of Christian babies for varied reasons. The Papacy has formally declared the blood libel to be untrue, and it no longer persists in the West. However, the blood libel has resurfaced in Islamic countries, and is even taught in Madrasahs in Saudi Arabia. Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Egypt have all had recent reports of the blood libel being promoted in books and/or state sponsored media.
