How about banning ear piercing, hair cutting, surgery or, worse yet, the insertion of synthesized chemicals (medications) into a child's body before the age of 15? These people are ridiculous!

Let the children grow up and then decide if they want to be circumcised.

What next - stopping Jewish parents from giving their children kosher food? Perhaps the Europeans would like all children to eat bacon and shellfish so that they can make their own decisions? Or why not ban parents from allowing their children to be inoculated against diseases? Injections hurt, and no child would choose to suffer the pain. The Human Rights Law should be repealed.

This is another wake up call for Jews in the diaspora to return home to the promised land of Israel.

to take a little piece of skin off of the penis of that baby, which is a religious mandate and is known to promote good health is considered by them to be awful. The EU is trash, anti-semites, and left-wing ignoramuses, full of hate and stupid values.

"...sorry, folks, but it has been scientifically proved that male circumcision DOES in fact result in reduced sensation." Prove it. Cite at least ONE scientifically valid, peer-reviewed and accepted study that proves what you claim. Give the name of the lead investigator, the medical or scientific institution it was conducted in, when it was conducted and a summary of the results. If you can't provide these, your claim is worthless. The only VALID method to conduct a study of this type would be to find a statistically valid number of uncircumcised men, record their nerve and brain activity during sex, circumcise them and record nerve and brain activity during sex again, then compare the results. No study of this type has been conducted anywhere in the world. When you make a declarative statement the way you did in your post, be ready to back it up.

these jew hating europeans are not interested in advocating for babies. they want to outlaw a practice that is the very heart of Judaism and which makes jewish males jewish. anyone who has ever attended a brit milah knows that the baby hardly cries, if at all. these europeans go on the antisemitic assumptions that jewish mothers would allow their sons to suffer. they imply that all jewish parents are bad parents who abuse their children, and the continent of genocides and holocaust is more moral and more able to represent the interests of children. nazism, which started out as a theory of racial and moral superiority, is lurking in the shadows on the continent of europe.

and thanks so much for your military service to the IDF. My entire family and my two circumcised sons will also serve in the IDF. You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how profoundly stupid it is.

jews are productive people jews of europe usa even in my country are of big importance from politics to economy now would it be wise to cal for all jews to return israel while can work better for isreals interest in their respective countries? who do you think lobbies for such anti culture and political actions against israel away? netanyahu? or those jews who has say in other countries? gatherin all jews in one place is crucial mistake in terms of survival if you belive israel is facing existential threat by iran not? europe is not a human being it has many instutitons, country and diffrent opinions regarding you or muslims some are bad some are good while they funds palestenians ngos they also funds private or state projects not just in israel in other countries as well, plus they are the biggest trading partner of israel which in result provides many jobs at home another thing is political tide in europe is mostly in israels favour even if public disagrees, this is the influence of uncle sam so while its clear europes pros outweighs their cons i find your post emotinal and stupid if i may :D sarah b would be less than impressed ;)

having read many posts here under diffrent topics i get the feeling that if this practice was banned only for muslims it would get the majority support

You're not better as split & Co , the same anti Jewish hate . But they at least don't pretend to be Jews as you do .

Yo , those damn europeans , with their usual derision ,made some mutherfu34n decision ,to ban circumcision , cause they aint got no vision , to my lasting frustration ,they banned genital mutilation , they don't like our Brit , or the removal of a clit , nor the ritual slaughter of a cow ,cause europeans are " Holier than thou" but jews don't kowtow ,I enjoy writing this prose ,but circumsion aint no skin off my nose , I know I like to moan , but europeans should " mind their own" and jews should all come home.

Yo ,BREAKING NEWS , europeans don't like the jews , we got differing views , aint got nothin' to lose , just open your eyes ,we gotta circumcise ,so be wise ,no need to advertise ,just be precise ,with the cut ,don't get in no rut , what you feel in your gut , maintain circumcision , to hell with their derision ,it's our cherished tradition , so dry yo tears ,we doing it for 3000 years ,so no need for fears.

Take care, with Marois and the PQ, maybe the ban will arrive in our country...

The circumcision does'nt make a man a jew. The proof is there are lot of non-jew men who are circumcised. You cannot reconize a jew by what he looks, but what he has in his brain and by the way he acts.

The Europeans are turning vegans and give rights to animals instead to think to make their own kids. Anyway, the bacon will surely be banned in the Eurabia.

And you know no shame to promote your hateful agenda on this board. If you had any matzpun, you would express great regreat for your spiteful comments and apologize to Split first of all. You don't need to apologize to me since I am a proud Israeli.

They did not get out, before its to late come to Israel where you can be a proud Jew and practice your religion.

are strongly FOR the rights of woman to control their own bodies, ie a woman's right to abortion, ie the right to kill those children before they can circumcise them? An awful lot more kids are killed before they are born, than die from a bris.

... tatoos?

The Europeans should ask their women- young & old- what is their preference.....I bet a circumsized one.

As I read it, it seems Mike was saying Jews don't count. As far as "screaming victimhood mindsets" and "the exercise of civilized democracy", it is neither. .

jewish men are circumcised because circumcision is a commandment in the torah. a man who is not circumsiced cannot be jewish. non-jewish men can be circumcised for other reasons such as health or culture.

Civilised democracy : Europe is a democracy , they vote texts and laws . We , Jews , don't like this vote , but we may not forget that there much more muslims in Europe , who are seen by many Europeans as a treath . That's what Mike wanted to say .

He will , as do antisemites , also say that Jews descend from the Khazars . Proud to be Israeli ? in California ? Better for you to stay there and continue to hate everything Jewish from there .

They asked me how I knew ,that I was a Jew ; I of course replied , something deep inside ; smoke gets in your eyes ; They ,asked me how I knew , that I was a Jew ; I of course replied ; I opened up my flies ,and saw I was circumcised . Now laughing europeans deride Tears I can not hide Oh ,so I smile and say When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes .

This JAP says that less is not more. I have experienced both "styles" and I know what I like. If I had been male, I would have been circumcised and would have felt cheated out of what Mother Nature gave me and my parents decided to cut off just because they blindly followed advice from people who thought that the world was flat. Until the foreskin can naturally regenerate itself, the comparisons with pierced ears (which close up if no earrings are used) and haircuts (lol!) are invalid.
