A woman being brutally killed alongside men is a long-awaited feminist dream of equality," writes O'Beirne, in a staggeringly ugly bit of rhetoric that approaches blood libel. The public rhetoric combines the blood libel of medieval Christian Europe married to Nazi conspiracy theories that echo the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and the fanciful notion of a Jewish drive for world dominion. Luc Racaut presents a radically different historical perspective in his examination of infanticide as part of the accusation of blood libel that Catholics leveled against Protestants during the eve of the French Wars of Religion (1592-99). |
