Blood libel resurfaces in the Georgian press

"Matzo - Myth or Reality?"
Orakuly (Oracles) Magazine
No. 6
October 7th - 25, 1999

The preparation of matzo, that terrible custom of the Jewish followers of the cabala over the course of centuries, has stunned the entire world. The barbaric claws of the matzo have spread throughout Europe and Russia, the Caucasus and the Balkans.

It is necessary to point out that this terrible rite is not in keeping with the entire Jewish people, but exists only among the followers of the Hasidic sect, which is the most fanatic and persistent sect in Judaism. They [Hasidic Jews] accept only the Talmud and the books of the Rabbis. In fact, they repudiate the entire Old Testament. Their secrets and certain customs are unknown even to members of the sect itself, as these are kept by rabbis. The Hasidic sect has existed since the times of the divine crucifixion and still continues to this day. Over the course of 20 centuries, fanatical followers of cabala have killed Christian children through horrific methods of torture and used their blood for wizardry and various mystical-religious ends.

An enormous number of crimes and harrowing evil deeds committed by Hasidic Jews are partially acknowledged historically and legally. Today no one can argue that anywhere Jews have lived in large numbers, the corpses of Christian children have been found periodically with the markings of horrific wounds and tortures. History has preserved an enormous number of these terrible episodes: the inhumane torture of children by the Hasidic Jews.

In 1115, close to the city of Magdeburg, the day before Passover, Hasidic Jews tortured five little boys, used their blood for satanic rituals and baked from them the Passover bread. The atrocities of the Jews did not go unpunished. After a two-year investigation, the Holy Church found the evil doers and burned them at the stake after torture.

In 1350 in Normandy, over the course of several years, the Hasidic Jews made victims of up to 20 small children. For some time, the knights of the Templer Order- some of whom were in hiding- were blamed for committing the crime. But the truth was soon revealed when, undergoing torture, Hasidic Jews confessed to the crime. Only through the immediate intervention of Franciscan monks were the Jewish children saved and then baptized by the Church. Twelve villages became victims of the Inquisition; hundreds of Hasidic Jews had their skin ripped off and the leaders of the sect were stoned, their corpses strewn across accursed fields.

A fairly large number of examples of evil Hasidic acts was revealed also in England. In 1260, the state exposed the Hasidic sect and severely punished its members.

In 1343, Norwegian Bishop Magnus El forced the authorities of Oslo to burn twenty Hasidic settlements as they were blamed for their cabala activities.

In the 15th century in Hungary, the mutilated corpses of children were often found that terrified people. In 1460, the Hungarian Feudal Lord Miklosh Chek gauged out the eyes of 55 Hasidic Jews and expelled them from the country for their various crimes.

Alongside Catholic Europe the Eastern Orthodox countries also suffered. Even in Byzantine drawings of the early era there are references to matzo and the Hasidic Jews.

Archbishop Frigian Bartholomew I, after a zealous ten-year investigation, discovered the lair of the cabalists, where monks found the skeletons of hundreds of innocent children. After undergoing torture, the Hasidic Jews confessed to the crime. Blaming them for Talmudic activities in 943, Father Zocius subjected hundreds of Jews to torture and demanded from the Emperor their expulsion from the kingdom. Across the centuries, a large number of Jews have become victims of the Christians' hatred because of the crimes of the Hasidic Jews.

In 19th century Russia, an abundance of data on the fanaticism of the Jews has been recorded. The blood of hundreds of innocent children was spilt in the Minsk, Vitebsk, Novgorod, Ryazan, Moscow, and Yaroslavl guberniia (regions). The tsarist authorities discovered a multiplicity of Hasidic sects and destroyed them by expulsion. Among the communal evil acts committed, one tragedy, which occurred in 1829, stands out in its cruelty and brutality, when 12 children were killed during Passover. Later, the police found the bodies, split in two by gigantic needles, which after torture were thrown by the Hasidic Jews into a ravine.

One well-known Jewish doctor attending a special conference devoted to this terrible phenomenon called matzo the national disease and a disgraceful blemish on the history of the Jewish people. Several Jewish rabbis have severely rebuked the followers of the Hasidic sect and condemned them to exile.
