Circumcision is grievous bodily harm, German judges rule

83. Shame on you for this diversion into propaganda.

The removal of 50 percent of the penile skin and nerve endings is a mutilation.

The even worse mutilations practiced on women and girls are exactly that: even worse mutilations.

There is no good level of this practice. There is only bad and far worse.

The religious excuses are irrelevant. Furthermore, they cover a minority of the circumcised in the United States. If this barbaric practice at least ended for the majority of victims, that would be progress. Jews and Muslims together in the United States are a minority of the victims and so this is not mainly about them. It is total propaganda to divert this into questions of anti-Semitism.

The operative difference here is that the one kind of mutilation is practiced predominantly in foreign countries with brown-skinned peoples. So that is barbaric. The mutilation practiced in the United States is primarily on white people, by doctors. Since this is an American institution, it must be good.

And I don't care what some fool in San Francisco published in his comic book. The comic is indeed anti-Semitic - and therefore a disservice to any cause this guy thinks he's supporting. The hell with him. He is irrelevant to this discussion, and I will not have you trying to pin the attack labels on me or anyone else just because we oppose mutilation of all kinds, male as well as female.
