* The 1903 [[Kishinev pogrom]], an anti-Jewish revolt, started when an anti-Semitic newspaper wrote that a Christian Russian boy, Mikhail Rybachenko, was found murdered in the town of [[Dubăsari|Dubossary]], alleging that the Jews killed him in order to use the blood in preparation of matzo. Around 49 Jews were killed and hundreds were wounded, with over 700 houses being looted and destroyed.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Davitt |first=Michael |url=https://archive.org/details/withinpaletruest00davi/page/99/mode/1up |title=Within the pale:the true story of anti-Semitic persecution in Russia |date=1903 |location=Philadelphia |publisher=Jewish Publication Society of America |others=Princeton Theological Seminary Library |pages=99–100}}</ref>

* Jews were frequently accused of the ritual murder of Christians for their blood in ''[[Der Stürmer]]'', an antisemitic newspaper which was published in [[Nazi Germany]]. The infamous May 1934 issue of the paper was later banned by the Nazi authorities, because it went so far as to compare alleged Jewish ritual murder with the Christian [[Sacrament|rite]] of [[Eucharist|communion]].<ref>[http://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/sturmer.htm German propaganda archive{{snd}} Caricatures from Der Stürmer], [[Calvin College]] website.</ref>

* ''The Matzah of Zion'' was written by the [[Syrian Ministry of Defense|Syrian Defense Minister]], [[Mustafa Tlass]] in 1986.

* In 2003, a private Syrian film company created a 29-part television series ''[[Ash-Shatat]]'' ("The Diaspora"). This series originally aired in [[Lebanon]] in late 2003 and it was subsequently broadcast by ''[[Al-Manar]]'', a satellite television network owned by [[Hezbollah]]. This TV series, based on the antisemitic forgery ''The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion'', shows the Jewish people engaging in a conspiracy to rule the world, and it also presents Jews as people who murder the children of Christians, drain their blood and use it to bake [[matzah]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 9, 2004 |title=Satellite Network Recycles The Protocols Of The Elders of Zion |url=http://www.adl.org/special_reports/protocols/protocols_recycled.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130115091803/http://www.adl.org/special_reports/protocols/protocols_recycled.asp |archive-date=January 15, 2013 |website=[[Anti-Defamation League]]}}</ref>
* In early January 2005, some 20 members of the Russian [[State Duma]] publicly made a blood libel accusation against the Jewish people. They approached the Prosecutor General's Office and demanded that Russia "ban all Jewish organizations." They accused all Jewish groups of being extremist, "anti-Christian and inhumane, and even accused them of practices that include ritual murders." Alluding to previous antisemitic Russian court decrees that accused the Jews of ritual murder, they wrote that "Many facts of such religious extremism were proven in courts." The accusation included traditional [[antisemitic canards]], such as the claim that "the whole democratic world today is under the financial and political control of international Jewry. And we do not want our Russia to be among such unfree countries". This demand was published as an open letter to the prosecutor general, in ''Rus Pravoslavnaya'' ({{lang|ru|Русь православная}}, "Orthodox Russia"), a national-conservative newspaper. This group consisted of members of the ultra-nationalist [[Liberal Democratic Party of Russia|Liberal Democrats]], the [[Communist Party of the Russian Federation|Communist faction]], and the nationalist [[Motherland (Russia)|Motherland party]], with some 500 supporters. The mentioned document is known as "[[Letter of 5000|The Letter of Five Hundred]]" ("Письмо пятисот").<ref>{{cite web |url=http://xeno.sova-center.ru/45A29F2/5295297?pub_copy=on |title=Письмо пятисот.

* At the end of April 2005, five boys, ages 9 to 12, in [[Krasnoyarsk]] (Russia) disappeared. In May 2005, their burnt bodies were found in the city sewage.

* During a speech in 2007, [[Raed Salah]], the leader of the northern branch of the [[Islamic Movement in Israel]], referred to Jews in Europe having in the past used children's blood to bake holy bread. "We have never allowed ourselves to knead [the dough for] the bread that breaks the fast in the holy month of [[Ramadan]] with children's blood", he said.

* In an address that aired on ''[[Al-Aqsa TV]]'', a [[Hamas]] run TV station in [[Gaza City|Gaza]], on 31 March 2010, Salah Eldeen Sultan (Arabic: صلاح الدين سلطان), founder of the American Center for Islamic Research in [[Columbus, Ohio]], the [[Islamic American University]] in [[Southfield, Michigan]], and the Sultan Publishing Co.<ref>"Egyptian extremists an ill wind in Arab Spring" by Harry Sterling, Calgary Herald, 2 September 2011. p. A13</ref> and described in 2005 as "one of America's most noted Muslim scholars", alleged that Jews kidnap Christians and others in order to slaughter them and use their blood for making matzos. Sultan, who is currently a lecturer on Muslim jurisprudence at [[Cairo University]] stated that: "The Zionists kidnap several non-Muslims{{sic}}{{snd}} Christians and others... this happened in a Jewish neighborhood in Damascus. They killed the French doctor, Toma, who used to treat the Jews and others for free, in order to spread Christianity. Even though he was their friend and they benefited from him the most, they took him on one of these holidays and slaughtered him, along with the nurse. Then they kneaded the matzos with the blood of Dr. Toma and his nurse. They do this every year. The world must know these facts about the Zionist entity and its terrible corrupt creed. The world should know this."

* During an interview which aired on ''[[Rotana (television)|Rotana Khalijiya TV]]'' on 13 August 2012, Saudi Cleric Salman Al-Odeh stated (as translated by [[MEMRI]]) that "It is well known that the Jews celebrate several holidays, one of which is the Passover, or the Matzos Holiday. I read once about a doctor who was working in a laboratory. This doctor lived with a Jewish family. One day, they said to him: 'We want blood. Get us some human blood.' He was confused. He didn't know what this was all about. Of course, he couldn't betray his work ethics in such a way, but he began inquiring, and he found that they were making matzos with human blood." Al-Odeh also stated that "[Jews] eat it, believing that this brings them close to their false god, [[Yahweh]]" and that "They would lure a child in order to sacrifice him in the religious rite that they perform during that holiday."<ref>[http://www.memritv.org/clip_transcript/en/3536.htm Saudi Cleric Salman Al-Odeh: Jews Use Human Blood for Passover Matzos], MEMRITV, Clip No. 3536, (transcript), 13 August 2012.</ref><ref>[http://www.timesofisrael.com/saudi-cleric-accuses-jewish-people-of-genocide-drinking-human-blood/ Saudi cleric accuses Jewish people of genocide, drinking human blood] by Ilan Ben Zion, ''[[The Times of Israel]]'', 16 August 2012.</ref>

Or 'Passover' and 'Jewish blood rituals?!'

They take a Christian child, slit his throat and slaughter him. Then they take his blood and make their [matzos]. This is a very important rite for the Jews, which they never forgo... They slice it and fight over who gets to eat Christian blood." In the same interview, Al-Zaafrani stated that "The French kings and the Russian czars discovered this in the Jewish quarters.
