Feel free to bring your arguments and sources.Well, drinking childrens blood does not sound good, I wonder if there has been enough study to really exclude that this happened, blood sacrifices and similar things are very common in religious traditions, lets not just pass over such a remark to quickly now.
Here is what the Jewish scriptures say about the issue of consuming blood in Leviticus 17:14... "For as for the life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its life. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, 'You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off."
I can easily interpret from what you say that European mobs were justified in massacering Jews, because their religious doctrine approves. interesting, I will keep this in mind. :sarcasticWell, Jews are responsible for the death of the fictional character "Jesus", this is a fact, read the New Testament.
People today have no excuse of propagating old blood labels when we have so much modern scriptural historiography and studies available. furthermore these people only follow half the story, obviously they leave out the parts which talk about how new Christians are grafted into the Jewish tree which is the roots of their religion.Plain fact, nothing weird. This is like accusing Mel Gibson for being anti-semitic for following the Biblical story, silly.
Perhaps we have different standards for human behavior.Sounds like the average Right wing fanatics we have today, should we call it typical semantics among people who show aggressive and hateful behaviour? Or just Human behaviour?
Actually this is quite basic, and I have only SCRATCHED the surface of this.Somewhat over exaggerated, but fine.

The Dreyfus case and its aftermath is a famous case which gives us an insight into racism in Europe, it illustrates this reality very well. the violence against Jews following the trial demonstrates this. this is but one example of racism in Europe which I have presented, I find it bizarre and surreal that you would isolate it and declare it as irrelevant to the topic discussed. interestingly an Austrian journalist was sent to cover this case, his name was Theodor Herzl, the case further illustrated to Herzl the need to solve the antisemitism and difficulties Jews face in Europe, and he founded the World Zionist Organization which set an aim to find a national home for Jews in Palestine.I do not have enough un-biased information about the Dreyfus case to comment on this, but how would one example show the real deal in any case, kind of saying that George W Bush to be the example of American people, not very fair nor proper.
I never heard that Jews was blamed for the loss in World War I, is this unbiased information you are contributing?

Persecution was not limited to Germany alone.The Jews have a long history in Germany and have since 1930 been one of the most populated nations of Jews, so obviously you would have the most amount of problems relating to Jews, please do not forget this. I do find your comment on the Socialist to be a good one, many forget the anti-Socialism/Communism in Germany as well as somehow confuse pre-WWII Germany with being Socialist/Communist because of poor or no education on the subject.
Germany's humiliating conditions after the defeats of WWI and also WWII are well known.Now it is also worth noting that what was done to Germany and the German people was wrong and this is what finally caused the Second World War. Germany got the complete blame for the First World War and punished thus, most people, especially in the U.S, have absolutely no clue about this and do not realize that the winning side set it up so this would eventually happen because of our anger towards Germany, if we acted properly this may never have happened.
