Vampires
Blood Libel: The Anti-Semitic Root of Vampirism
Footnotes
(1) NKJV. Hebrews 6:4-6; 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15.
(2) At what point was this publicly repudiated by the Catholic Church? October 28, 1965, in a document called Nostra Aetate, produced by Pope Paul VI.
(3) Harold of Glouchester, 1168.
(4) Robert of Bury, 1181.
(5) 1183.
(6) The 1190 Massacre of York resulted in the deaths of 150 Jews when they took shelter in a royal castle; some Jews chose to commit suicide rather than face the tortures of the mob.
(7) Note the dates; although this was nowhere near Easter, the rumor had diverged at this point.
(8) Interesting to note, while the foreigner, Outsider vampires feasted on the native women in an act of both corruption and invasion, temporarily analogous ‘native vampires’ attacked their own bloodlines first, turning on their immediate family for sustenance and infection. While Outsider vampires represented a ‘Yellow Peril’ of racial insecurity and conflicting nationalist identity, native vampires represented pseudo-incestuous abusive family ties, where the silent threat came from within.
(9) Specific laws forbade the perpetuation of debt or creation of interest on loans or labour in the Quran; the unfortunate propensity for Jews to take after banking and flourish monetarily only underscored class divisions.
