At the height of the Black Death in Western Europe, in 1348: "Jews, accused of every other sin, were now accused of fomenting the pestilence." "By mid-September, the well poisoning accusation had grown into a conviction. And the conviction into an INTERNATIONAL JEWISH CONSPIRACY... The Jews were contaminating the wells because they sought world domination."

"When asked if a village spring looked familiar, Balavigny (a Jewish surgeon) replied, yes, "this is the spring where I put the poison" "In France, where feelings against Jews traditionally ran high, the monarchy used a policy of expulsion to win popular support and enrich itself. Thrown out in 1306 (!), the Jews were readmitted in 1315, expelled AGAIN in 1322, brought back again in 1359 and expelled again in 1394" "The blood libel accusation, another famous anti-Semitic canard [citation needed], is also a twelfth-century creation" "Two days before Passover 1144, the body of a skinner's apprentice named William was found horribly mutilated in a wood outside Norwich, East Anglia." "Last seen entering the house of a Jew"

"Two village girls who worked for local Jewish families then stepped forward to offer corroborating evidence. The girls said a group of Jews had seized William after synagogue, gagged him, pierced his head with thorns and bound him to a cross" According to an apostate Jew named Theobald of Cambridge: "William was the victim of an international Jewish conspiracy"

Baseless accusations, the lot. What a wild imagination they had back in the 14th century! Move along, citizens.
