Just before Passover, the corpse of a young Christian boy is found drained of blood in front of the Belz Great Synagogue in Jerusalem. The police find no murder weapon. No one claims responsibility.<\/p>\n
Someone leaks to the Israeli press that the boy’s death is a ritual murder-a blood libel. The public is in an uproar, demanding that the security forces take action immediately.
