"Luzzatto describes Toaff's work as a "magnificent book of history...Toaff holds that from 1100 to about 1500...several crucifixions of Christian children really happened, "

Toaff has denied that he said that, apparently Luzzato misunderstood his work.

Two arguments for the falsehood of the libel was A. Jews dont consume blood of any kind, its against biblical law and later halacha and B. All of the confessions were forced.

What Toaff found was that A. In some obscure Kabbalistic texts, its mentioned that blood can be used medicinally. B. SOme of the confessions apparently included some yiddish versions of prayers that the interrogators couldnt have understood, so must have been genuine, ergo not EVERYTHING that came out of prisoners mouths was what the interrogators forced.


There is still NO evidence that anyone DID use human blood in any way, let alone that anyone killed for it, and theres abundant evidence that the interrogations did use massive torture.
