Just a comment to your tb: God did not request, order or demand circumcision from Jews. If you google the history of the practice, you'll find it depicted in Egyptian tombs going back to 2450 BC. Aside from that, why didn't god simply engineer Jews genetically to be born without foreskins? Oh, right! It's an obedience thing. God seems to get a pass on everything, especially on BS that doesn't make any sense. Wait! I'll take back my last comment. I should say that people, who hang all their BS on god seem to get away with it and that god must have one hell of a sense of humor. Where and how do humans - some of them barely down from the trees intellectually - find the audacity to insist on explaining "God"? Worse yet, why do billions listen to such drivel?
32. Rather delicate sensitivity all of a sudden.
eddie ,   sa   (10.04.13)
I am trying to sue my parents for allowing me to be born and claiming damages for being born with a mole on my leg. Anyhow circumcision can be reversed.
33. Jews are so self centered and whiners
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (10.04.13)
34. This is absurd....
Koose E Mack ,   NY USA   (10.04.13)
Anyone knows that 9/10 European Shiksas preferred a beautiful, clean, and pure circumcised tube steak!
35. I dont want kids get mutilated on european ground!
John ,   European citizen   (10.04.13)
for any cult reason! If jews like to garble their kids because someone told them 2000 years ago, they can do it on their ground alone! Not every cult entered modernity yet, but this should be not the problem of europeans!
36. Circumcision is commonly recommended by doctors
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.04.13)
Many non-Jewish newborns are circumcised at birth by the recommendation of the doctor. No one who has ever been circumcised as a baby remembers the short, momentary pain involved and it is possible, although unnecessary to administer a local anesthetic. Circumcised males are also less prone to infections. The Council of Europe is anti-Semitic. First they are attacking kosher butchering, which is also more humane than conventional methods which involves stunning the animal & lopping off its head, no circumcision.
37. To Sarah
Reuven ,   Netanya   (10.04.13)
Funny that you mention: Moses: who's son was not circumcised Jesus: no need for further explanation Marx: also one who was against jewish medieval practices Freud and Einstein: lol they couldn't care less about these traditions.
38. @ Sarah - Penile cancer
Reuven ,   Netanya   (10.04.13)
Penile cancer is very rare in North America and Europe. Penile cancer occurs in less than 1 man in 100,000 and accounts for less than 1% of cancers in men in the United States. However, penile cancer is much more common in some parts of Asia, Africa, and South America, where it accounts for up to 10% of cancers in men.
39. @24 lol ask your rabbi
Reuven ,   Netanya   (10.04.13)
god created everything perfect, only he made a little mistake in creating man and woman ... what a coincidence or stupidity on his behalf. And to be "separate" as you state is already a clear indicator, IT IS ABOUT TRADITION nothing more. Come out of your cave and live in the world of today.
40.  MANUFACTURERS' INSTRUCTIONS
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (10.04.13)
REMOVE TIP BEFORE USE (at 8 days ) .
41. When will they ever learn
Siegfried ,   Bremen Germany   (10.04.13)
Israel does not belong to Europe. Israel is no part of Europe. There is no connection and no affiliation between Israel and Europe. Maybe Israel needs Europe, but Europe doesn't need Israel. At least, Europe doesn't need any ethical advice from Israel. Israel should stay away from Europe. Israel, please leave Europe alone, immediately. Because most Europeans are completely fed up and are sick and tired of Israel and her hypocrisy. And you may call this anti-Semitism. Remember, there is a reason for everything.
42. Europe is Christian. Hello?
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (10.04.13)
43. #29 Muslims are not "semites"
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (10.04.13)
Arabs are those ones. But I agree that Jews "privatized" anti Semitism.
44. Europe has never been right in anything.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (10.04.13)
45. Mutilated ? circumcision protects...
robert ,   antwerp belgium   (10.04.13)
against infections. Mutilated ? I'm circumcised and so are my sonsand we don't feel mutilated. Circumcision is a private matter with good consequences, not like piercings or tattoos. If you think it's a problem for the Europeans than you must be racist or an antisemite because I cannot understand your comment in any other way
46. Siegried - Hitler had his reasons too right?
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.04.13)
If you want Israel to stay out of Europe's business then the EU needs to stay out of Israel's business telling Israelis where they can & cannot live.
47. #21 Sarah B
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (10.04.13)
I hereby declare victory in the war against Male genital Mutilation. I didn't say that jews couldn't mutilate themselves, what I said was the practice of men cutting into the flesh of a child's penis and then sucking that penis should be banned. If at the age of 18 someone decides that to be true followers of their religion they wish to have a circumcision then they should be allowed. But that is their choice, and is not one to be forced on them. And before you say anything, think about it for a moment, just because it has always been done doesn't mean that the practice can't be changed, after all Jews no longer stone people to death do they? And try to engage in a logical argument as to why I am mistaken in my views rather than a tirade of abuse
48. I think that the time has come
sarah B   (10.04.13)
for Israel to mount a full economic boycott against Europe
49. #12 David
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.04.13)
Genitally mutilating your son at 8 days old is not a life saving matter. Vaccinating your children is
50. No44 sure! Europe was wrong when she created Israel
(10.04.13)
51. If the Jews do not like it...
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (10.04.13)
...they may leave. They can always come to Israel which is an egalitarian and enlightened society, can't they?
52. 29 , "rapper"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.05.13)
When people talk about "antisemitism" it's anti Jewish , not anti muslim . Not 100 % correct ? No , but i know it better as you do . Before to try to give lessons , go and educate yourself , but with your "rapped" brains it's impossible
53. We are victims, always victims.
