kleveta o krvnim žrtvama

ili kleveta o prinošenju krvnih žrtava
ili lažne tvrdnje o prinošenju krvnih ili ljudskih žrtava

Blood libels are allegations that a particular group kills people as a form of human sacrifice, and uses their blood in various rituals. The alleged victims are often children.

Many different groups have been accused, including Canaanites, Jews, Christians, Cathars, Knights Templar, Witches, Christian heretics, Roman Catholics, Roma, Wiccans, Druids, neopagans, Satanic cultists, Scientologists, and evangelical Protestant missionaries.

A famous example of blood libel is the allegation that Jews kill Christian and Muslim children and use their blood to make Passover matzohs. Variants of this story have been circulating since at least the 1st century.
