Parents do not get to do whatever they want to do to their children, even if they think it is in the best interests of their children. Your rights as a US citizen do not include this. In the USA, the government may intervene if it thinks the child is suffering without reason at the hands of its parents. Look it up. Try "Child Protective Services" for one. As to Hess' fascination with the blond hair and blue eyes: I don't have to agree with any antisemitism of his, in order to agree with other points he makes. It is a testament to the barbarity of circumcision forced upon infants that another barbarian, Hess, finds it barbaric. And while we're discussing circumcision, what about female "circumcision", also known as female genital mutilation? Would you defend a religious parent's intent to perform female circumcision? Would you back off when he or she told you to "stay the hell away from [his/her] rights"? I'm sure the victims of female genital mutilation in Africa would thank you profusely for your respect of their fathers' practice of freedom of religion. I'm guessing you're not in favor of female genital mutilation (it's not a very civilized thing of which to be in favor), which brings me to this: it's okay to circumcise male but not female infants ... because the males can tolerate pain but the females can't? I should also point out how weak it is for you (and many other talkbackers on Ynet) to accuse others of antisemitism, in order to shut up those with opposing viewpoints. Cry wolf too many times ... Oh, and if you're going to try to insult me (which is a great debate tactic, by the way, right up there with calling someone a "poopypants"), try to get it right. It's "get *over* yourself", not "get other yourself". Also, when you're trying to question your opponent's sexual prowess, you would either want to say "lack of sexual functionality" or "abundance of sexual deficiencies", not "lack of sexual deficiencies". You have written a double negative, so you have therefore accused me of having no sexual problems. I doubt this was your intent. Try again.
