Norwegian state-run broadcaster includes antisemitic blood libel in quiz
NRK, the Norwegian state-run broadcaster, included the antisemitic blood libel theory as an answer to a quiz.
The quiz related to Easter and Passover. Its eighth question, which referred to matzah, was titled “a very special bread”, and asked: “What was special about the bread Jesus and the disciples ate during the Passover meal?”
The third option to the question stated “det var blod i det”, which translates as “there was blood in it.”
The original antisemitic blood libel dates from the Middle Ages, and is the accusation that Jews murder Christian children in order to use their blood in Passover rituals.
Twitter users condemned the quiz, with one sardonically remarking that NRK “decided to test how many people believe in antisemitic conspiracy theories in their Easter quiz.”
