One of the oldest instances of anti-Semitic claims was made in the first century AD by Apion who claimed Jews sacrificed Greeks in their temple in a ritual known as a blood libel. Christianity later brought this up again in England in 1144, after William of Norwich was found murdered. William was called a martyr and created a second wave of anti-antisemitism, this time in Europe. It was mostly popularized with the story of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, and was even present in the Canterbury Tales. This continued on for many centuries until modern times. This blood libel accusation has survived the centuries and is today seen in Muslim anti-Semitic propaganda.

:''"[[Israel]] long since would have taken us to the [[weapons of mass destruction]] if there were any or if they had been removed. With [[Iraq]] no threat, why invade a sovereign country? The answer: [[President Bush]]'s policy to secure Israel.''
