Hey, I'm just like the New York Times!
The dog blood libel story I included in my Around the World post happily turned out to be a hoax.

"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
I took the story with a grain of salt anyway. Jews don't think dogs are unclean (that's Muslims), and traditional Judaism doesn't believe in reincarnation.
ReplyDeleteI thought it strange that a Jew would sentence a dog to stoning. Aren't Muslims the only ones who still carry out stoning? Additionally, I kept thinking about talk show host, author, biblical scholar, and observant Jew Dennis Prager who talks fondly about the dog he had.
ReplyDeleteThe rabbi and the court should launch a defamation lawsuit, otherwise the BBC won't learn.

They left out the part where the rabbis used the dog's blood to make their pastries...
