The German President of the Pediatrician association, doesn't act out of a compassion for the Jewish child, but out of a Jew hating feeling. They have finally found their peg to hang their Anti Semitic agenda on, in a 'civilised way so to speak. Who can contradict the plea of a dokter not to '''harm a child''.

It will be up to merciful mothers to spare their sons this humiliation. With a few exceptions, most circumcised men are so defensive they'll never own up to their loss. ~Dick-Scalper

To not circumcise is to be out of Yah's directive will.

No tissue is removed when an ear is pierced. The hole can close and grow back together.Once the foreskin is removed, it can never grow back. Do the doctors who made this statement really know what they are talking about? A drill is not used for piercing ears.

The inner male prepuce has about 20000 special touch and stretch pleasure nerves.  The female equivalent may have similar. All genital tissue has value.  Few that have it would ever cut it off. In the real world natural penis men get hIV at the same rate as men that have had parts of their penis cut off and parts of their sensory system shut down.  No one should force this,  we must not pay for this and we must not "urge" this

circumcised male become uncircumcised. Circumcision is of the heart, the soul, the body. But circumcision of the body is only valid to the Lord if the person loves Him.

I used to work in a newborn nursery. The babies were placed on a "circ" board, spreadeagled. Usually an intern or resident would perform the procedure. The baby would scream like hell. That is what I witnessed. I think and hope that if it is done by a mohel {sp?} it is different. But I think that people are responding to scenes like this and not from antisemitism.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'd trust Johns Hopkins over guy on the street.

You have to actually feel humiliated for it to be a humiliation. Where I come from (the same city as you), it's weird not to be circumcised, besides I don't know anyone who isn't happy with my equipment.

Parents choose to give their babies various vaccinations. In some cases, these are required by the state. And yet, connections have been found between vaccinations and autism or other conditions. These conditions are permanent. Just last week, 4 babies died after receiving a vaccination. Yet no one is suggesting that we ban vaccinations. We make many decisions for our babies & children. This is one of them.

The same people who tried to turn a boy into a girl after an unnecessary, botched circumcision, until he told them where to get off at puberty, and lived the rest of his life as a penisless male, but eventually comitted suicide?

Yet a Frankfurt doctor showed a video of a circumcision and an earpiercing of a 4 year old girl to the local Ethics Committee. Both were so horrific that people felt sick, fainted and shouted at him. Maybe we should think again about ear-piercing AND circumcision....

Add to Johns Hopkins and the American College of Obstetricians, the American Academy of Pediatrics who have also revised their official view in light of growing research in favour of circumcision. Although for Jews it is the sign of the eternal Covenant between G-d and Israel, it makes purely secular medical sense as well.
