He's a solid historian, the son of Elio Toaff, late former Chief Rabbi of Rome.
They wanted to imprison him in Israel for his book. It's historical only, no modern examples, but even the historic practise of collecting the blood of christian children is denied by Israel and the ADL and talk of it labelled antisemitic.
However it occured, and was a major reason for bad feeling against Jews in general and them being kicked out of countries and "persecuted".
They would dry the blood into a powder, or granules, (as is done with pigs blood to make blood sausage or "black pudding") and exchange it among themselves for use in rituals. It was very expensive.
