The owner of a popular Indianapolis eatery has stunned the local Jewish community with a post on social media that equated being Jewish with knowing the taste of children’s blood a recycling of the medieval blood libel that falsely accused Jews of using the blood of Christian children to bake matzah during Passover.
Jonathan Brooks the Jewish owner and chef at the Milktooth restaurant in Indianapolis said he made the comment on his Instagram account as a sarcastic response to critics who claimed he was “appropriating” Jewish cuisine for Milktooth’s latest menu.
