Someone else on my friends list did a poll, and I realized that I was also curious and have enough people here to get a large sample even if it's not a scientific one.

Since my big discovery of today was that lots of people didn't realize that the "blood libel" thing was a totally anti-semitic thing to say and I was surprised by that, the question becomes is this one of those things _every_ Jewish person knows but non-Jews may not have encountered?

ETA: Comments filled with fascinating anecdata. Have fun.

For those of you who still haven't caught up with this, Boing Boing explains.

Thirded! I made the connection once I saw someone mention Jewishness and the phrase together-- I figured it had to be something. I had heard of the allegation that Jews murdered Christian children and made matzoh from their blood, being used as an excuse for pogroms, but had never heard the term "blood libel".
