Rabbi Boteach: potential ban on circumcision in San Fransisco is an attack on the Jewish faith

I find it absolutely disgusting that he played the anti-Semitic card. It happens far too much, especially when discussing Israel.

Coming from an ex-jew, jews are taught to play the anti antisemitism card at every opportunity that logic, reason and morals will not prevail. We will only see more of this as the anti Male Genital Mutilation movement gathers more support.

What we need to do is create well thought out responses because even though they grotesquely overuse it, the accusation of antisemitism still has a lot of power.

The people who commit female genital mutilation see that as an intrinsic part of their culture and religion.

I guess people who commit male genital mutilation feel the same way.

Apparently religion trumps Human rights and law, who'da thunk it.

These babies are not Jewish.

If they decide to become Jewish when they reach adulthood they can get circumcised then.

Your freedom of religion stops when it harms others.

Mayan witch-doctor: ban on murder is an attack on human sacrifice.

attack on faith to protect jewish males. Jewish males get circumcised three times in their life, I think

fuck that guy.

His articles are usually pretty good but this one is kinda off base. This is set to be a local law so if the practice means so much he can always have it done out of town.

so by logic then fgm should be allowed because banning it is an affront to their religious beliefs?

They ought to go back to Israel where the U.S. government can fund their circumcision! Its free in Israel, at the local market Rabbi Cutdatip will do it for free. He sells it to the local goys as pork rind!

That's some bullshit... trying to use the 'anti-semitic' argument when it's really because of christianity's excess pushing of it - not judaism.

Who is attacking judaism here? Oppressive atheists?

Minorities need special treatment. Apparently.
