Jews child sacrifice

Hey Grok, Were jews ever accused of kidnapping kids for sacrifical rituals?

Yes, in medieval Europe Jews were repeatedly accused of this in what became known as the "blood libel." Claims began in 12th-century England (e.g., William of Norwich, 1144) alleging Jews kidnapped and ritually murdered Christian children to use their blood in Passover rites. The accusations spread across the continent, triggering pogroms, trials, and expulsions. Historians have long established these as fabricated conspiracy theories with no supporting evidence, used to justify persecution.
