In fact, it is more than " just repeating stereotypes and adds no layer of sense whatsoever." People were not doing a lot of travelling. All of sudden you have Jews throughout Europe (and anywhere else the Plague hit) all being aware and travelling everywhere, seeking out each and every well (with a plentiful supply of poison!!) - as if they nahd nothing better to do. All of a sudden, nothing makes sense.

You talk like Europe was extremely primitive but that's obviously not the case. Extensive trade networks go back to ancient Greece at least.

And of course they didn't have to poison every well, just many of the biggest ones.
