Banning circumcision of ALL males is anti-semitism. /s

Can someone please explain to me why "STOP FUCKING MUTILATING CHILDREN" is somehow anti-Semitic?

arch4non · 2012-06-27T10:18:24+00:00

It doesn't matter what your religion is, ritualistic mutilation is not okay.

my religion requires me to drink the blood of the innocent at least once a month. since it's a religious ritual i should be alowed to do it despite the moral implications and claiming otherwise is an attack against freedom!!!

Relevant - Jews Speak Out in Favor of Banning Circumcision on Minors

There are a growing number of Jews who are becoming increasingly vocal in questioning both the ethics and the legality of circumcision. Jews in the Reform Judaism movement have already been advocating for an end to ritual circumcision during the past 180 years. What follows is a collection of statements from Jews who question the ethics and legality of forced under-age circumcision.

There are several great comments included in the post... too many and too long to quote, including some from known and famous individuals.

Bottom line of why I'm posting this: The Jewish community is not united in either supporting or opposing infant/minor male circumcision. Neither position on infant/minor male circumcision is an inherently or uniquely Jewish position. The infant/minor male circumcision controversy is not about Judaism. It's about whether or not it is ever acceptable for adults to make permanent, damaging, and medically-unnecessary modification to the bodies of minors. The act of taking either the pro or the con position on infant/minor male circumcision is not an anti-Semitic behavior or an indication of anti-Semitic attitude.

Well i'm offended that we can't sacrifice children on the altar of Huitzilopochtli anymore.

Seriously... we're a civilized society, you shouldn't just go around mutilating or killing people.

I'm glad they're mad. Fuck them.

Yeah, sure, and banning female genital mutilation is anti-muslim /s

Honestly, there should be laws so you cant join a religion until you are 18 (and can look at them for yourself). And that comes from a religious person (not abrahamic).

Banning slavery is racist against white people!

An attempt was made last year to place a referendum banning circumcision on the ballot in San Francisco. But the sponsors’ use of an openly anti-Semitic Web comic book drew so much attention that critics were able to quash the effort. Though support for such measures may exist on the margins in the United States, the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Europe may have allowed this cause to drift into the mainstream. Along with other attempts to ban kosher slaughter elsewhere in Europe, the German bris ban calls into question the safety of Jews in a Western Europe where Jew-hatred often mixed with anti-Zionism has emerged from the shadows.

Though it is to be hoped this ruling will soon be overturned by joint legal efforts by Jews and Muslims, no matter what the outcome of the litigation, it must send a chill through a growing German Jewish community that has come to think of itself as immune to the dangers presented by the country’s past. They may be learning that in spite of the country’s advances, anti-Semitism never goes completely out of fashion in Germany.

Jesus tittyfucking Christ. There's nothing else that enrages me in quite the same way as people exploiting horrors and atrocities in order to leverage a victim role as in some debate. Someone doesn't like you knifing baby genitals? Holy shit, Germany's reverting to Nazism! Someone call Charles de Gaulle, Hitler must have come back! Protect John Stewart!

What does chopping off a piece of a baby's dick have to do with living a good life and being a good person?

I'm really missing how the two are related.

Celda · 2012-06-27T19:06:21+00:00

it also made me burn and break out, the doctor said a lot of women are allergic to the semen of the uncircumsised.

If stupidity was a crime, she would be convicted instantly.

ispq · 2012-06-27T10:29:32+00:00

get circumcised when you turn 18.

Jorand · 2012-06-27T11:39:51+00:00

Heaven forbid the child himself decides whether he wants to even be involved in the religion or not. (Speaking about Jewish Bris particularly since the Jews are mad. I believe circumcision should only be done on consenting adults period.)

I don't understand why this ritual has to be done on an infant. Mormons can't have multiple wives anymore, what's so terrible about being circumcised when you're an adult?

2012-06-27T17:37:32+00:00

Yes, in the same way that banning people from stoning adulterers and from cutting the heads off of cartoonists who draw Muhammad is a form of anti-Islamic oppression.

Grow up.

Lecks · 2012-06-27T14:58:10+00:00

Does this ban the practice entirely, or just for infants? I have no problem with a consenting adult getting circumcised.

McFeely_Smackup · 2012-06-27T17:43:12+00:00

Is banning the murder of young girls for talking to boys in public an anti-Muslim position? Or is it an anti-murder position?

I'm entirely comfortable with saying mutilating newborn boys penises is wrong no matter what your religion is. Anti-semitism is not an issue here that is even worth discussing, it's a red herring.

alecbenzer · 2012-06-27T20:23:53+00:00

People are looking at this in entirely the wrong way. "Banning doing something to someone's body before they have the right to consent is anti-semitism"

mordicaii · 2012-06-27T13:25:27+00:00

Granted, I'm not Jewish, but from what I understand, circumcision is not a massive tenant of the faith. Then again, I'm an Atheist, so I eat poor babies. Abram was commanded to circumcise all of his children (thus, all Jews must be snipped), but this is simply one arm of the religion. It isn't the whole religion. They're Jews not 'Snippites'.

What I don't quite get why they are getting panties in a bunch over this. Surely their faith must transcend further than just the act of circumcising their baby boys. I thought the idea of religion was to teach people right from wrong and to not be ass holes to each other. If they have lost sight of their real goal and are going on about "OH MAH GERD, THEY ARE TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHTS TO HURT PEOPLE, BOO HOO", fuck 'em.

There are two proverbs I like to keep at heart: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and "Your right to swing your fist ends where my face begins." The first basically just means to not hurt people who have not hurt you, and the second is even simpler: Don't hurt people. There is no justifiable reason to hurt someone who has not hurt you, religion is not a free pass on that, either.

mikesteane · 2012-06-28T08:49:11+00:00

Is it anti-semitism not to believe that God promised Joshua he could invade the land of all the surrounding tribes and kill everyone and everything. Did Joshua's claim give him a religious right to kill anyone occupying land he wanted? Religious freedom does not give religious people the right to do whatever they want.

MRDA · 2012-07-24T17:55:49+00:00

What a load of steaming PC BULLSHIT this is! The usual Jewish Exceptionalism that crops up whenever someone criticizes something dodgy that Jewishfolk happen to have a hand in.

Also, seeing as this bill also affects Muslims, I'm gonna call solipsism, too.

We banned female circumcision... despite the barbaric practices of some religions... and that was OK.

Good. Semitism is bullshit, and takes away people's rights.
