31. "carefully considering"
Alex   (05.30.13)
There's nothing to consider, it's just to do it. This is enough, anti-Semitism is getting a free pass every time in Scandinavia. Take legal action now!
32. 6 Sagi,If i follow your logic,you did...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.30.13)
not circoncise your boys. Where they happy about that? Did they find Jewish women who did agree to marry them? Just asking myself. Please don't answer my questions if they are offensive. The last thing i want,is to hurt your feelings.
33. 24 Israeli 2 Thanks 4 appreciation.

34. Circumcision is an EVERLASTING COMMANDMENT for those
Rivkah   (05.30.13)
who love the real Creator of the Universe. 5 Mosheh 9:16 "An dyou shall circumcise the foreskin of your HEART..." The HEART is the heart shaped head of the penis, not a mysterious emotion in the mind. Shaul of Tarsus circumcised Timothy before he allowed him to accompany him and preach the gospel. Emperor Constantine did not want to be circumcised, so he changed the gospel to say Gentiles didn't have to be circumcised to enter God's Kingdom. They could just confess the faith and not obey the everlasting commandments (not all are everlasting). Revelation 15:3 says those who walk on the sea of glass in God's Kingdom sing the song of Moses (obey the everlasting commandments) and the song of the Lamb (believe Yehoshua of Nazareth is the Messiah who died for the sins of the world and was resurrected and will come again as the Lion of Judah to deliver Israel in the latter days). Are ANY people in countries opposed to circumcision going to heaven? Not many if any is my guess.
35. 31 Alex,Exactly,these two words ....
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.30.13)
disturbed me too.
36. Aaand here we go with the antisemitism crap again
Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (05.30.13)
If you don't want to be associated with bloody rituals, all you need to do is to stop sadistic mutilations of baby boys and torture of animals to make them kosher to eat. How hard can it be? No reason to shoot the messenger really, this is how you behave, more or less. Anyway, you might want to check the other cartoons published before you scream antisemitism and feel sorry for yourselves. One is anti-muslim critical of burkhas and one is anti-christian, implying that christians are brainless retards. Not even the muslims, who typically whine about everything, cared. Call it anti-religious if anything, not anti-semitic.
37. #12 iselin, come off it!
Jake   (05.30.13)
Please, say that you're joking. The man in the picture with the pitchfork is clearly meant to be a bearded, black coated/ hatted Orthodox Jew. Your attempt at apologetics is weak, feeble, and pathetic, and you only embarrass and discredit yourself with this laughable manufacturing of excuses.

yesjb ,   Canada   (05.30.13)
So why didn't they show it muslims, dummy? They also practice circumcision!
39. Massive reduction Infections
Zechariah   (05.30.13)
Circumcision results in a massive reduction in male urinary infections in infants and a considerable reduction in aids spread .The detractors are demonic and ought be fined or arrested.
40. #19 HIPPO-CRIT
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (05.30.13)
Your childish and moronic comment about "simple minded" goyim is a testament to your narcissicism and hypocricy not to mention double standards. Look in the mirror and see what simple minded really means. You whine about being persecuted while calling billions of people simple minded because they don't share your religion. Smart guy! I've had all my sons circumcised for health reasons. Your tribe doesn't have exclusive rights to this procedure.
41. Dagbladet is a leftist newspaper.
Beary White ,   Norway   (05.30.13)
For years it has been in the front to attack and write negativity onto Israel. Mostly it is done by intentionally using a mixture of words giving you a biased story putting Israel in a bad limelight.. When an arab in Israel do something bad, he is told to be an israeli in the newspaper Dagbladet. The word "arab" is not mentioned. When the pals are shooting rockets onto Israel, the story is turned around and telling Israel is firing upon the pals, and hardly not mentioned that the pals fired the rockets first. Some years ago a palestinian/arab attacked and captured a young girl here in Oslo and raped her for more than four hours. Then he was just told to be from the ME, and just a few small lines were used in the newspaper, the word arab/muslim was not used. When the female girls from Norway were raped at the strip/Gaza, it was not told in Dagbladet at all, just a few lines in another newspaper. 99% of all attack-assaults and raping of girls in Norway are done by islamic immigrants. This is hardly not mentioned in that newspaper. As a summary, Dagbladet has NEVER printed a positiv story from Israel, it is just an organ for israel/USA-haters and islamic lovers. And for the records, doctors do circumcize more than 2-3000 arabs in norwegians hospital every year, which is more than every jewish person in Norway, a toal number of abouth 1500 all together. So even THIS drawing tells a biased story when once again portraying this as a negative side of jewish history. ' I am not able to see the moon-god in the drawing, for the balance? Then the positive side is, after all, that Dagbladet has lost a lot of readers and we can see the fruit of our hidden campaign to open the eyes of young people, by informing, when possible, how biased this newspaper is. Don't buy it.!!
42. my brit
Don Q ,   Canada   (05.30.13)
I didn't have one, I simply wore mine out. Much more fun!
43. Norway! Muslim also circumcise up to the age of 9 YEARS!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (05.30.13)
Oooops! Now they will riot in Oslo too!
44. #11 In Europe, we shower instead
Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (05.30.13)
it works for us. I wouldn't dream of having elective surgery to get out of showering, but maybe i'm weird..
45. #32 Ora
Sagi   (05.30.13)
Yes Ora. All 13 of them duly entered the Brit on day number 8. No offense.
46. #22 Let the Americans know what kind of
A ,   Belgium   (05.30.13)
sick polak National Socialist Workers Party immigrants they allow into their country. You'll be shovling pig shit in Poland faster than you can imagine!
47. Circumcision is wrong, so we the Jews should stop doing it.
Michael ,   California, USA   (05.30.13)
This is what this cartoon says, and if so, the Norwegians are medically correct. If someone religious wants to keep doing it, he/she/they should keep it private. I am sure a circumcised person is not smarter than uncircumcised one, so why wasting the time?
48. #14 heh yeah good luck with that
Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (05.30.13)
this isn't america, where lawyers lurk in every corner and you can sue for anything. Here's how it works in Scandinavia - the press can print more or less anything they want and the courts can't touch them. You can report them to the media regulators that might tell them that they crossed an ethical line and kindly ask them to apologize. That's pretty much it. There is no penalty for ignoring their ruling, most accept their rulings and issue an apology because it's the right thing to do, but it's not a real court of law. Any court would throw out demands for damages immediately, but let's just assume that they wouldn't and that you would win! You'll soon notice that we're not talking about any millions here, if you're really lucky it's a few thousand dollars but more likely only a few hundred dollars. Basically, you might be awarded the price of the airplane ticket you have to get to Norway. One way ;P the return ticket you have to pay out of your own pocket, but maybe you wont care that you lost more money on it than the person you sued? All you need is that document saying that you won... right?
49. a primitive tribal ritual
(05.31.13)
isn't it time to join the modern world?
50. #46
Jake ,   USA   (05.31.13)
Mr. split from the U.S. would fit right in "shoveling pig shit in Poland". Thanks for the good laugh.
51. UNcircumcised is UGly
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (05.31.13)
Uncircumcised men are UNattractive - look like donkeys -
52. To #40
Shalom ,   Ashdod, IL   (05.31.13)
We make a brit milah because Hashem commanded us to do it as an everlasting sign. We do not do it for health reasons. Your response proves what I said that you do not understand the deeper meaning of brit milah. You may have circumcised your children, like all Muslim kids do, but I am sure there was no peria'ah. We were told that if this was not done, then the brit is not complete and not valid. I am sure, if you consider yourself Jewish, then it is in name only since we do not do it for health reasons. Moreover, the Torah with its various explanation of PDRS was given to Am Israel and it does not matter how many are studying it because with these guys, just like you, it goes in through one side of their brain only to come out from the other side. You see, we were never in the game of numbers only for quality and upholding mitzvot like performing brit milah on the eight day. Now, go and look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself "Why did you circumcise your kids? was it really for health reasons. Be well
53. #44 Research doesn't agree with your statement
Alex   (05.31.13)
A British study comparing the hygiene of uncircumcised men vs circumcised men concluded that a whole 26% of uncircumcised men had inferior genital hygiene compared to only 4% among circumcised men. Besides the hygiene aspects it also reduces the risk of acquiring HIV by 60%. Circumcision should be common practise in any developed country, it's only cultural xenophobia preventing it.
54. Maybe they have a point
Rh ,   MODIIN ISRAEL   (05.31.13)
I saw the outrage against the cartoon on the same page in the timesOfIsrael as an article about a baby who is close to death following his brit Milah. Sure this is the exception but how many dead babies does it take for us to admit that this practice is unsafe. I also noticed that the Scandinavians are to chicken to publish Muslim themed cartoons
55. All that oil...
Raoul ,   Herzliya. Israel   (05.31.13)
seems to have made the Norwegians not only filthy rich but filthy in their minds as well. Also all that about hard times producing antisemitism obviously does not apply to wealthy Norway.
56. #38
Sane   (05.31.13)
I think you must have been posting in reply to a different comment, as I do not see what yours has to do with #9
57. # 52 Health issues also for those non circumcised Jews.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.31.13)
and, frankly a'trimmed penis' looks nicer.
58. #54
Sane   (05.31.13)
To address your point with an equivalent: We should only ever cross roads when it is strictly necessary, never just to go for a walk or to visit people etc, because how many people have to die crossing roads. P.S. You obviously have no idea of Judaism. G-d commanded us to do something, we don't just throw it out the window.
59. #13 to Tomek from Poland
Gwunderi ,   Switzerland   (05.31.13)
Oh yes, we got the point very well: it's me to be highly immoral and an anti-Semite by NOT opposing circumcision and allowing such "barbaric" practices to be carried out on "defenseless" Jewish babies. Your hypocrisy is as sickening and disgusting as this picture.
60. # 51
Eaaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.31.13)
So now we know you are attracted to men and not donkeys. Perhaps that will make the donkeys happy.
